It is for a Antec True 550 EPS12V 550W Max. PSU with 36A on the 12V line so that should be enough for SLI if I ever go there.



The one on it is damaged and needs to be replaced, i also need 4 pins as 4 of the wires are cut and the pins gone.

I also will need a tool for removing and installing the pins in the connector, and possibly a tool for crimping the 4 new pins on the wires.

OP, once you start crimping your own pins there is no turning back :p

Buy this tool, most highly reccomended. At $18 it is a bargain. I've used hand tools all
my life and this rates as very good kit. It's made in Taiwan.

This is not avalible anywhere else. This e-tailer does not charge State tax or profit off shipping.
Try to find the rest of your needs there, if you buy this VG crimper.

This crimper is a rachet type and must be adjusted/practice with a time or two to get it perfect.
Tinning the wires as reccomended by our Zepper is the best way to get a really good connection when crimping.
Zepper did a mini-review of this tool. I hope he links it.
If he enters this thread, heed what he offers.

Action-Electronics.com is the place to buy for bulk pins and shells. Just be sure to get the right pins.

thanks for all your help, i just ordered 6 pins, 2 spares just incase, and a the 24 pin Black connector and the universal tool, for $20.48 shipped

my psu has no pci-e connectors but has 36a on the 12v rail, that should be plenty right???
