Where are the polarity marks on a pin?
The polarity marks are a half-moon indentation on the left hand side as well as a dot by pin 1. This device has 20 pins, numbered counterclockwise along the two edges from 1 to 20. As we’ll see, there are plenty of examples of this, or close variations on it.
Where are the extra 4 pins on the power supply cable?
The extra 4 pins on the cable just hang over the end of the motherboard connector. The 24 pin cable only fits into a 20 pin socket at one end so you can’t plug it in incorrectly. The extra 4 pins were added to the 24 pin version of the cable to provide one extra wire for ground, 3.3, 5, and 12 volts.
What are the different types of pin header connectors?
Pin header connectors comprise several different means of connection. Generally, one side is a series of pins which are soldered to a PCB, and they can either be at a right-angle to the PCB surface (usually called “straight”) or parallel to the board’s surface (confusingly referred to as “right-angle” pins).
How can you tell if a chip has pin 1?
Sometimes a chip has a notched corner to indicate where pin 1 lives. The white silkscreen on the circuit board shows an exaggerated picture of this notching, by the lower-left corner. The 486 is a good example of a chip with a notched corner, while the 68030 has a gold stripe to indicate pin 1.
What is the middle pin on a SMA cable?
The middle pin is the “reverse” of the connectors used in cellular systems. They will have the treading (inside or outside) the same however the pin / hole will be reversed. For example, a regular SMA Male Connector with have a pin in the middle and threads on the inside.

What’s the difference between 5 pin and 7 pin?
The 5-Pin flat connector above is nice for easy handling, but if your vehicle already has a 7-pin, just use it. It’s OK, within the standards, to leave out wires for your custom situation. For trailers that have a little more going on electrically, we recommend 7-pin connectors. The 2 added pins are for Auxiliary Power and Back-up Lights.
