Wire and jumpers for Power button to mb.
« on: September 20, 2002, 02:45:56 pm »
I need to know where I might buy the jumpers that are used to connect the power button to the motherboard. I am hoping someplace local like say radio shack. And what gage wire do I use for this? Also what gage wire do I need for the control panel buttons?

Sorry for all the questions, but its payday and I'm going to buy the remaining parts for my cab.

I have never seen these connectors anywhere.  What I did was just cut the existing wires running from the case power button to the MB, and wired the cabinet power button in parallel to the case power button.  I also put a 2-pin male/female connection in line with the cab power button, so if I need to remove the PC to work on it, I can just unplug it from the cab power button, and still be able to turn the PC on and off with the reguar power button.

Another option, this way the power button on the cabient will still work.

Use wire taps.  3M makes some, called quick connect.  It will splice a wire with the existing power button wire.  Then you can use quick disconnects so the button or whatever to attach to it won't permanently be there.

I'd take a pic of what I mean but my website is having upload issues.

Here's 3M's link to what I used

Here's a differnt brand at Home Depot

Here's a better picture (for a different gauge wire)

Two wires goes in, you close it, that metal piece connects the two wires.
