![]() One suggestion I've learned is that Digi-Key is actually better at pairing up housings and pins, so you can try taking the part number for the housing and searching for it on Digi-Key, and see what they suggest for matching pins. If I do find exact part numbers for matching pins/housings, I'll list them here. I do know from experience that especially the crimp pins don't necessarily always work, because Molex only links a SERIES of pins to each housing, and some times not all pins in a given series actually work with a given housing. *Note that, unless specified, I have not actually tested any of these part numbers (though I do intend to, I just haven't ordered any yet), this is all from searching, so YMMV.

Yes, I know that Sparkfun carries a few of these connectors, but I still like having MPN's rather than relying on a single distributor, so I figured I'd document my findings here. Monoprice continually strives to improve its product line to bring our customers the best products available. Some current high-end video cards can suck up more than 10 amps at 12 volts with most of it coming through the PCI Express connector so it pays to be careful.Recently, I started on a project that I wanted to power from a standard PC ATX power supply, which led to me looking for connectors to use so I didn't have to cut up the cable to access the various voltage lines. Internal Computer power supply adapter to convert 4 pin Molex connectors to 4 pin connector needed to power P4 CPU on motherboard. That increases your voltage drop and power dissipation in the cable. Plugging them both into the same PSU cable forces your video card to draw its 12 volt power through one 18 gauge wire. They gave you two peripheral connectors for a reason. If you're using a peripheral connector to PCI Express adapter then be sure to plug each of the adapter's peripheral connectors into a separate PSU cable. Don't just plug all your devices into one cable unless they're relatively low load devices. ![]() When you're plugging in multiple high powered devices it's a good idea to spread the load between all of your cables. People often use the term 4 pin Molex power cable or 4 pin Molex to refer to a four pin peripheral power cable. ![]() The connector is shaped so that it only fits in one way.
