#SATA PSU POWER TO 4 PIN MOLEX CONNECTOR ADAPTOR HOW TO#

You should only connect one of these adapter to a single wired connections, do not plug the two molex adapter on the same wire for example. Though if your power supply don’t have any SATA you can use another molex adapter instead. With the SATA (male) adapter you should only use one output, reason to use SATA is to ensure that you prevent yourself sharing the molex connector. Repeat until you got 20 wires ready for the housing connector, if there is anything more just ignore. Once you got the wire in place then apply force to ensure the wire does not dislodge. Note that the beginning of the crimp is for clamping on the insulation of the wire not the wire. I’ve bend the wire ends and twisted them to 4mm in length for 20AWG, where the crimp should met. Use the wire cutter to remove the output connectors as they are not needed, then use the wire stripper to remove about 8mm (20AWG) or 4mm (18AWG) insulation from the ends. Here is a Molex (male) to 2 output connectors. 20AWG should provide 5 amp for 12 volts, whereas anything thinner would not be able to handle the current. Most of the adapters available are 20AWG which is slightly thinner than your original 18AWG wires from the PSU, if you want a matching AWG to your PSU you should get 18AWG they are rated much higher. 20* Mini-Fit Plus Crimp Terminal – Single wire.5557 Series 20 Way 4.2mm (Molex manufacture) 1* SATA (Male) to one or two way output (SATA or MOLEX doesn’t matter)ġ* Molex (Male) to one or two way output (SATA or MOLEX doesn’t matter).2* Molex (Male) to two way output (SATA or MOLEX doesn’t matter).For this example I want to use 2 molex and 1 sata or use 3 molex to help power the SATA power connector.

As you can tell from the pin-out there are 5 molex power connections, in this guide I’m not showing you how to make a adapter from scratch but to use pre-made adapters available online.
