PN# 39-01-2240 or equivalent" - another, different, "Molex" power connector.
Note also that the main 24-pin power connector (§ 4.2.1) is specified as "Molex* Housing: 24 Pin Molex Mini-Fit Jr. Note that AMP and Molex are two different manufacturers, and those are just part numbers. The ATX power supply specification actually refers (§ 4.2.2) to them as a " peripheral connector", specified as "AMP* 1-480424-0 or Molex* 15-24-4048 or equivalent".
Your first pictured connector is actually a PATA/IDE ribbon data cable.
#Molex connector vs sata power serial#
You have to crimp these terminals onto your wire with the Crimping Tool. Power up your 4-pin Molex devices like an add-in card or hard drive using the StarTech 12in SATA to LP4 Power Cable Adapter - F/M of a SATA power connector. Wikipedia mentions a molex to sata connector that has the 3.3v wire as well in their Serial ATA article, but I dont see anything related to this on-line for purchase. We supply 10 original MOLEX crimp terminals with 1 connector, even that you will only need 5 terminals. Despite the different names, they are the same thing. You have to use these SATA crimp connectors in combination with the supplied crimp terminals and 18 AWG, 17 AWG or our special 15 AWG wire. Therefore, a power connector referred to as a "PATA" or "IDE" power connector is likely to be a "Molex 4-pin power connector" or "peripheral power connector" and looks like your latter pictures. It was most commonly used with pre-SATA hard drives, which are nowadays referred to as PATA (previously called IDE) drives. The SATA power connectors have 15 pins: 3 for +12V, 3 for +5V, 3 for +3.3V (though I'm not.
The 4-pin power connector that is commonly called a "Molex connector" is really more a general purpose peripheral power connector that delivers 12 V and 5 V power. Product Description Provides 6 inches in cable length Connects a Serial ATA Hard Drive to a standard internal power connector SATA (15 pin) to 4 pin Molex (. All of the SATA drives I'm seeing cross my desk now are pure SATA power without the Molex connector. Including the main 24-pin ATX motherboard power connector! And companies other than Molex also make the connector you know as a "Molex connector", notably AMP but also many unbranded/generic ones are also available. each SATA connector allows up to 4.5A on each of the 3 voltages (of which youll skil the 3.3V because molex doesnt have one). "Molex connector" is actually a rather imprecise term, since the Molex company makes many, many different connectors. The SATA power connectors have 15 pins: 3 for +12V, 3 for +5V, 3 for +3.3V (though Im not sure what actually uses these), 5 for ground, and 1 for some out-of-band signalling.
