| Wiring 12v marquee light. |
| (1/2) > >> |
| KapnKerfuffle:
I have a cold-cathode marquee light from Ultimarc. It has 2 wire leads that are supposed to connect up to a 12v power supply. What is the best way to connect these to a 12v molex connection in the computer? |
| Ed_McCarron:
Scavenge the mating 12v plug from a peripheral. Yellow = +12v, Black = Gnd. |
| Malenko:
hack a Y molex splitter yellow is +12v, black is ground, red is +5 |
| MonMotha:
If you've got a Fry's nearby, they probably have the mating connector. A bag of like 5 or 10 housings was a few bucks, and a bag of 100 pins was I think $10. If you don't, slice apart some PC thing you don't care about. Dead cooling fans work great for this. As others have said, Yellow = 12V, Black = GND. The cooling fans sometimes hook a red wire up to the 12V side, so don't get confused if you hack one of those apart (and you probably don't want to use that thin little wire, anyway). |
