You can solder directly for the trough opto connectors, or you can switch the connectors from IDC to molex. I've had to do it on all of my Sterns. Been operating a Metallica for over a year and I'm not sure it has been out of service even once.
The first game or two, I soldered the wires directly. Once I bought a few extra molex connectors, I found it faster/easier to swap out the connectors than soldering the wires directly.
Yes, Trifurcon pins pinballkyle
It was a while ago, but I bought them from Great Plains Electronics. You want the 0.156" size for both the connector and the pins. Not sure why I didn't realize this at first, but you can easily cut a larger connector to size. (Example, you have a 5 pin connector laying around, just snip off two of the slots and now you have a 3 pin connector!)
