Full size cabinet power switch

fl3030

I noticed in the installation instructions, the front panel has a rectangle hole cut and it’s labeled as an optional power switch.
does anyone know what switch fits in that hole? It has to have been cut for something specific.

Greetings @fl3030

I assume you're referring to our full sized arcade cabinet, correct?

Hi @TSMikeW Sorry, Yes i'm talking about the full sized arcade cabinet. The front panel has a round hole that's labeled for an optional USB port and the rectangle is labeled as an optional power switch. I'm wondering what switch that hole was cut out for.

Thanks for clarifying. I'll look into it and see what we can find out.

It's designed for a fused switched IEC inlet like this one:

Wiring this would require working with 120v, so it's not something you should do unless you feel comfortable with that.

Could I bump this up? It's pretty weird having the two holes in the front of the cabinet with nothing to fill them... the rectangle is too big for a rectangular push button to cover, even.

Strange for Micro Center to sell the kit with those holes and not sell anything that would be used to fill them.

Or does anyone know where I (we) could source a black plastic plug for it? I'm even thinking about having something 3D printed as a last resort.

FYI - the product pictures do not show the holes cut out, so I'm not sure if this is a new revision or perhaps by accident?

Here is what I ended up doing.

I grabbed a cheap USB extension and power button from Amazon. Cut a small piece of plastic mounted the button to that then mounted the plastic to the back of the board. it look a little it of wiring to get the computer's motherboard but it works perfect.
