∙ 13y ago
The power connectors used by both 5.25-inch and 3.5-inch floppy drives are 4-pin connectors. The larger connector--used by 5.25-inch drives--is called a Molex or peripheral cable. This type of cable is also used by IDE/ATA hard drives and optical drives. The smaller 4-pin cable used by 3.5-inch floppy drives is generally called a floppy power cable.

How the floppy disk drive getting power?

What power connector most commonly attaches to a floppy drive?
not sure what it is called by name but it is a 4 pin plug most of the time.
What type of power connector does a floppy disk use?
It varies. There's no universally adopted external floppy disk drive standard, so it depends on the type of drive and/or computer you have. Modern (2008) external floppy drives commonly use USB (Universal Serial Bus). This isn't really a "floppy drive connector"; it's just an ordinary USB connector. The drive unit itself contains the electronics to make the floppy drive work with USB computers. The original IBM-PC line (circa 1981) included an external floppy drive option, which used a 37-pin D-shell sub-miniature connector. These weren't all that common to begin with, and are extremely rare these days. The early Macintosh computers (circa 1984) included an external floppy drive port, which used a 19-pin D-shell sub-miniature connector. SCSI floppy disk drives exist, but were always fairly rare. Some manufacturers introduced external floppy drives with manufacturers-specific (non-standard) connectors. Generally, you had to use the manufacturer's expansion card and floppy drive together. Some manufacturer external floppy connectors were mechanically compatible with the 25-pin D-shell sub-miniature parallel port connector. This allowed the same computer port to be used for either printer or floppy. However, parallel and floppy are not electrically compatible, so only a computer specifically designed for this would work. Dell used it in some of their laptops (Latitude C series, for example).
What is a Berg connector used for?
A Berg connector is used for providing power to floppy drives and sometimes other peripherals.
Which connections should be provided to a floppy disk drive during installation?
Connecting a floppy Drive in a Desktop ComputerYou should connect the 4-Pin 12 Volt non-molex Connector from the power supply to the power input of the Floppy Disk Drive, also the IDE ribbon cable from the FDD output on the Main-board to the FDD input on the Floppy Disk Drive, with the pink stripe on the outside of the FDD Input & Output sockets, it is important to make sure you are grounded to the case whilst doing this with the PC Power Cord plugged in but switched off
