I need a 3 pin male to 2 pin female led power connector.

Where can I find one. My board has a two pin powere led and my case has a 3 pin female plug. I can't find one. Anyone know where I can get one.

I just cut the connector with a stanley knife, and plug it in.

:thumbsup: That's what I did when I ran into that problem.

You can pluck out the connector from the plastic and stick it in the other hole.

That's a good one too if you don't need to plug into any pins that are to the left or right of the two you want.

When you cut it you mean just cut it in half and then put the one hole over the one male end and then put the other over the other male end and then have the wireless hole out in no where land. That will be a lot cheaper than buying some connector which I can't find anyway.

Yep. Just cut it in half and line up the "1.5" female parts with the pins on the board with the uneven parts facing outward so they don't interfere with puting any jumpers on the pins next to them.

Yup, you can cut it in half or just move one of the contacts within the shell. Easy to figure out how to do if you just look carefully at the female connector shell with a magnifying glass. I think frontx has pix of how to rearrage contacts in those shells.

yeah just get a sharp object and push in on the metal part near the bottom of the plastic and pull it out. then you can rearrange it.
