72-Pin Connector for NES

This connector is made of a much stronger metal than the original. It is the strongest one you can find and it will not corrode over time.

Is your NES giving you problems? Do your games seem to be not working the way they used to? Or maybe your screen just flashes yellow and gray? It could be that your old 72 pin connector is broken! The original connectors had a design flaw, and were made of cheap metal that corrodes after time.
 
This connector is made of a much stronger metal than the original. It is the strongest one you can find and it will not corrode over time. It works with the original 8-bit Nintendo system, and is simple to replace, only a Phillips head screwdriver is needed to complete installation in minutes.
 
Product Features
  • Easy installation with a screwdriver
  • Works with original 8-bit NES system

    NES Pin Replacement - Soothing repair

    Posted by Ridge on Mar 16th 2026

    With this solid pin replacement, I have already seen higher success rate with NES games. The repair wasn`t complex as no soldering is required. Use the iFixit guide and you`ll be fine. Just make sure not to mix up which is the old pins and the new one as they looked exactly the same which is tells you how you`re not getting a cheap knock off. Thanks Stone Age Gamer for having these available and affordable!

    NES 72-Pin Connector fixed my NES

    Posted by Andrew Rigney on Nov 28th 2025

    My NES was very temperamental with games. I removed and cleaned the original 72-pin connector, but it still acted up. I finally bit the bullet and purchased this 72-pin connector. It fixed most of the issues. My success rate of starting a game the 1st time went from 25% to probably 75%. I suspect the games are now to blame, but at least I don`t have to monkey around with blowing in carts no more. Also, the connector is VERY tight, which I believe is a good thing. We`ll see how long it lasts.

    Perfect Replacement

    Posted by John D on Sep 18th 2025

    This new 72-pin connector worked as a perfect replacement for the stock 72-pin connector. Very tight, but saved a lot of the bad connection headaches.

    Little bit fussy

    Posted by Jacob Schweiger on Sep 14th 2023

    The angle of the slot was a bit off and as a result my games have to be forced in.

    Great replacement

    Posted by exHo on Mar 6th 2023

    I bought 3 to replace badly damaged OEM connectors. I don`t see a difference in performance over an OEM in ideal shape! Carts play very reliably. Very good purchase and I will buy more from this site when I need more.

    I would say it is a bit snug fit with the cart but I prefer that and it doesn`t seem to be marking up the cart`s plating any.
