Why is there a pin missing on my 24 pin connector?
Most likely it is because the -5V rail has been removed from modern power supplies. If your power supply unit has an empty pin on the 24 pin connector (see picture above), then your unit does not have a -5V rail.
Where is the 6-pin power connector?
6-pin power connectors are typically found in low and mid-range graphics cards. The 6-pin power connector has 4.2mm pitch and can pull up to 75 watts of power directly from an external power supply, bypassing the motherboard entirely.
How do you fix a loose 24 pin connector?
Look into the 24 pin connector, and wiggle each wire gently back and forth and see if any slip out easily. If so, there is a little metal hook on the pin that can be bent back out to secure it back into place.
What is the 24-pin connector?
The ATX 24-pin power supply connector is the standard motherboard power connector in computers today. The connector itself is a Molex 39-01-2240 connector, often called a Molex Mini-fit Jr.
Can I plug a 6 pin into an 8 pin CPU?
The PCIEX68ADAP PCI Express 6 pin to 8 pin power adapter cable lets you connect a standard 6-pin PCI Express power connection provided by the computer power supply to ATI and NVidia video cards that require an 8 pin power connection.
Is the 24 pin supposed to click?
As long as you’re getting a solid contact between the 24-pin cable and the header I’m sure you’re fine as long as you do nothing to disturb or move it.
Where does the 24 pin go?
the 24 pin goes to the motherboard.
What to do if you can’t find pin 1 on a connector?
If you can’t identify Pin 1 on one connector, you might on another one facing the same direction. Here again, there may be exceptions, but you can generally count on consistency. Look for a label on the board around the connector. It may be called Pin 1, or it may simply show a 1 and 2.
Where is the pin 1 on a hard drive?
On the drives themselves, Pin 1 is usually marked, though not always in a position that is easy for you to see. If you can’t find the marking on a hard drive or CD-ROM, locate Pin 1 at the end adjacent to the power connector. You can count on this alignment with hard drives, CD, and DVD devices.
How to pin out connectors for board to board cable?
The question below is based on a false premise: taking into account that an IDC with keys pointing out from the cable on both ends swaps the front and back rows, simply rotating one of the connectors gives a 1 -> 1 mapping (thanks @DiBosco for pointing this out).
Where is pin 1 on a computer case?
Use them to crosscheck the other methods. Connectors that are positioned on the board front-to-back, with respect to the computer case, will almost always have Pin 1 toward the back of the case (See Figure A ). There are rare exceptions, but generally you can rely on this rule for connectors oriented in this direction.
Why is the 4 pin connector not working on my computer?
The four pin connector powers the CPU. The processor hasn’t been removed since the factory install. The case became damaged and we’re just swapping it into a new case. The computer still worked in the old, damaged case, so I’m assuming I must have damaged the board somehow in the swap.
Where are the pins on a P5 connector?
The P5 connector is designed to have the header soldered on the underside of the board. Pin 1 is identified by the square solder pad. So if you solder the header on the top of the board be aware that the pin locations will be the other way round! For a printable version of these tables, click here.

Where are the pins on a Pi board?
Pin 1 is identified by the square solder pad. So if you solder the header on the top of the board be aware that the pin locations will be the other way round! For a printable version of these tables, click here. Since the 26-pin GPIO connectors, a new 40-pin connector has appeared on newer Pi’s. There is also the compute Module boards.
