What type of connector does a modular ps use

[pollardhimself]

What are the connectors called that the modular power supplies use? I am talking about the female connector that the removal cables connect to I have a bad one

 

[Swivelguy2]

That's specific to your PSU. What PSU do you have? Can you provide a photo of the damage?

A picture or the make of the power supply would help to id the connector. But I would venture a guess that it is made by and is a version of Molex connector shell and pins. After all, that is what is used at the circuit board, floppy, hard drive, etc. So why would the maker want to buy more tooling to crimp another makers terminals ? ? ? Stick with one brand of connector.

I have an Antec & a Seasonic modular PSUs & the connectors are identical as are the cables that plug into the case. The connectors on the cables have TUV marked on them which could be http://www.tuvdotcom.com/pi/web/Lis...0&strSubCategory=91&type=Product&fetch=subcat but I have not thought about trying to identify these until you asked.

I do not know for a fact that these are different for every manufacturer ... doesn't mean that they are the same either. I asked a similar question a few months ago & got no meaningful response. I must be the only one here with modular PSUs of different from manufactures.

In this case, I believe that TUV just means the connectors have passed TUV certification, which is similar to Underwriter's Laboratory in the U.S.

its a zalman im talking about the four pin connectors at the top, Its really on a bose ipod docking station but they are the same thing as on my zalman modular cords

After sleeping on this, I suspect that you are correct ... I wondered about TUV being yet another certification since it is in the same location on the housing as UL & CSA.

This will tell you about all the connectors that could be on your PSU. Scroll to CONNECTORS.

I don't think that's what he was asking about.

As for what the modular plugs are, the brand varies depending upon who the OEM is. Seasonic, for instance, uses Mini-Fit Jr. style modular plugs on their cables.

Looks like I was correct about it being something in the Molex line.

 

[JackMDS]

OCZ Stream Pro uses 6 pin molex that look like the one that goes to the Mobo's CPU jack.

To be specific its a Angled socket MicroFit 4 pin. Bought them at newark.com
