Still, depending on your build and the components which you’re working with, you might end up needing Molex connectors (extremely unlikely but still possible), so they’re definitely worth a bit of coverage. On the off chance that your particular PSU doesn’t have any Molex cables/connectors...
you must check the specs of your case to make sure it supports your motherboard's size. Technically, the size of a motherboard is referred to as its form factor, and there are 4 main sizes to choose from when building a desktop computer: ...
I found the quality of these to be quite good, comparable toMolex SL(also featuring a high quality wire-to-wire option). Tolerances are tight, and disconnection force is considerable, especially when loaded with ultra high force spring contacts. The dual row types appear to be unique. I’ve...
Use a Molex to SATA power adapter or a power splitter if you don't have a free SATA power connector. Plug the SATA power and data connectors into your SSD drive. The power connector is the longer of the two connectors on your SSD. Note the orientation of the L-shaped connectors, and ...
How to use a Power Supply Tester Turn Off the PSU. Connect the 20-pin/24-pin connector and other connectors (Molex/SATA/PCIe/EPS) to the PSU Tester. Turn On the PSU and the Power Supply Tester (if it has an On/Off button)
If your keyboard has two FPC cables, you may be able to insert them side by side in one FPC connector or solder two FPC connectors on the board as shown above. It's common for one FPC cable to have top contacts and the other to have bottom contacts. Use some JB-Weld epoxy on the...
ST-Link connection using the adapter 2.3 Exposed pad connectors The STEVAL-WESU1 form factor can be reduced by cutting off the PCB tab hosting the USB and expansion connectors; the exposed pads on the bottom can be wired to the charger, as shown in the figure below: Figure 13. STEVAL-...
For this purpose, kindly ensure connecting the hub cables (SATA or Tach or both) to the respective motherboard headers. You may even join the power connectors like SATA or Molex directly to the PSU. Note:Some AIO coolers also come with a Micro USB-B connector. This is responsible for con...
If using pre-insulated terminals the better quality connectors have a metal sleeve to grip the wire insulation, the lower quality parts don’t have this. The image of the sectioned crimps shown make this obvious, but to determine this when not sectioned, look down the barrel of the crimp...
many high speed connectors require this to function properly as the electromagnetic interference is highly mitigated through the connector shield being grounded. A great example of this is a board that was developed by a team I worked with. They used RJ45 connectors to manage multiple I2C basses...
