How many pin dose a berg connector have?
4pin
What tool is designed to test dc current from a molex connector?
The tool designed specifically to test DC current from a Molex connector is called a Power Supply Tester.
Which type of power connector is used to connect devices such as optical drives and hard drives?
There are two kinds in common use:Molex - an older standard, but still commonSATA - Serial ATA, a newer standardSee the related links for pictures.
What is a mini molex?
Molex Connectors are used in Power Supplies for powering up the devices. There are different types of Molex Connectors on Power Supply for. eg. 20 or 24 Pin Power Connector\ 4 Pin IDE device \ Sata Device Connector.Mini Molex refers to connector powering Floppy Disk Drives or AGP Cards on Computer System.
What power connect is used for a CD- rom?
Typically, CD-ROMs are connected using a power connector called a Molex Connector. A Molex Connector has four wires, two for power, the other two for grounding. This connector supplies two different voltages to the device it is connected to - 12v and 5v. For more information on Molex Connectors, see the article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molex_connector#Disk_drive_connector_.28AMP_Commercial_MATE-N-LOK.29
What type of power connector is used for x16 video card?
molex 4-pin
What are the voltages for a MOLEX Power Connector?
yellow in 12v red is 5v black in ground
Where do you put the multimeter leads when you test a Molex connector?
Put the black lead into any of the black connectors on the molex.put the read lead into the yellow, or red lead on the molex.
Does a hard drive and a CD-ROM use the same type of power connector?
Some of them do. Your CD-ROM and hard drive can have molex power connector, or/and SATA power connecter. I think SCSI interface uses molex power connectors too.
Can a fan with a four pin molex connector connect to a 3 pin connector on the motherboard safely?
Yes, but it loses its fan speed control.
What is a molex cable?
A Molex power connector is a 4-pin power connector found in most computer power supplies. It is used to provide power to large internal drives like hard drives and CD/DVD drives. They are slowly being replaced by SATA power connectors, which are easier to install can cannot be inserted incorrectly. They should not be confused with a Berg connector which is much smaller and is used to power floppy drives. The molex connector is used for IDE drives
What data cable attatches to the optical drive?
A Molex Connector connects to optical drives and hard drives.
