Were can I get motherboard pin connectors
« on: July 31, 2005, 11:56:06 am »
Hello all got a small problem but it doesn't stop my cab from working! I need the plug ends for the reset button so I can hook it up to the motherboard. I had one I kept from an older tower to use for the power button. Works great! Now I got the reset in with no way to hook it up just incase I get a system crash I would like to have it. Any site on the net that has these connectors? The guy at my local Radio Shack didn't even know what I was talking about. They hire anyone!

Are you talking about header pin connectors? If you are then the easiest thing to do is hack a CDROM audio cable.

If it's another type of connector you're after then you could try www.farnell.com

Actually I had a few short scrap CDROM cables laying around and had that thought.  When you say hack you mean move the wires to match up to the pins? Well since I got the cable in my hands lets see what I can do with it! Thanks for the quick reply!

you can get them from www.farnell.com they are 2.54mm (0.100") pitch pin header sockets, you have to buy the crimp terminal housings and crimp terminals seperatly though.
