A Molex connector is a two-piece pin-and-socket interconnection which became an early electronic standard. Developed by Molex Connector Company in the late 1950s, the design features cylindrical spring-metal pins that fit into cylindrical spring-metal sockets, both held in a rectangular matrix in a nylon shell.
JST manufactures numerous series (families) and pitches (pin-to-pin distance) of connectors. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] JST connectors are used in many types of products, and commonly used by electronics hobbyists and consumer products for rechargeable battery packs, battery balancers , battery eliminator circuits , 3D printers , and radio controlled servos .
The additional pin is used for a pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal to provide variable speed control. [26] These can be plugged into 3-pin headers, but will lose their fan speed control. The Molex part number of receptacle is 47054-1000. The Molex part number of individual crimp contacts is 08-50-0114. The Molex part number of the header is ...
Pin 1 is typically indicated on the body of the connector by a red or raised "V" mark. The corresponding wire in a ribbon cable is usually indicated by red coloration, a raised molded ridge, or markings printed onto the cable insulation. On the connector pin 2 is opposite pin 1, pin 3 is next to pin 1 along the length of the connector, and so on.
The power connector was typically the same 4-pin female Molex connector used in many other internal computer devices. The communication connectors on the drives were usually a 50 (for 8-bit SCSI) or 68 pin male (for 16-bit SCSI) " IDC header " which has two rows of pins, 0.1 inches (2.54 mm ) apart.
1×6 pin header (one row) 1×6 female header (one row) A pin header (or simply, header) is a form of electrical connector. A male pin header consists of one or more rows of metal pins molded into a plastic base, often 2.54 mm (0.1 in) apart, though available in many spacings. [1] Male pin headers are cost-effective due to their simplicity.
The male PCB connector on the 3½-inch floppy drive is normally a polarized right-angle male header, which is a TE Connectivity / AMP 171826-4, [4] the straight model is AMP 171825-4. [ 5 ] The shape of the connector housing makes it very easy to determine the pin number allocations by visual inspection.
Molex was established in 1938 by Frederick Krehbiel. [6] The company began by making flowerpots out of an industrial byproduct plastic called Molex. Krehbiel developed this material by combining asbestos tailings, coal tar pitch, and limestone. [ 5 ]
