maficke Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Hey there folks, Long time reader, first time poster.. Ok introductions aside. I'm in the process of sleeving and doing a connector conversion on my new superflower 550. The sleeving and everything is going great, but I had a quick question about how to rewire the molex pins. I have the red and yellow wires in the correct position, but I forgot which black goes on which side of the inside. I know they are both grounds, so my question is this: Does it matter how the grounds are wired, as long as they are in the ground positions? For instance, say one ground is at position 2 for the initial connector, and then on the next one it happens to be wired to position 3 (assuming that 1 and 4 are the hot wires). If this is a problem, I could get my hands on a multimeter I suppose... would a resistance read be effective in syncing them all up? Cheers for any insight.. /M Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 i can't think of any electronic or electrical device where ground isn't just ground and they all connect to the ground plug... but don't take that as advice... take it as a bump, check google for pinout on molex...

Mangar Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 Hey there folks, Long time reader, first time poster.. First off, Welcome... Ground is ground, no difference. I prefer to put them back the way they were, but it shouldn't matter. Do you listen to Mr. Obvious ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobalt Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 Next time you open a PS, take the time to lift the pcb and lhave a look under it will answer a lot of questions like most all same colors wire are soldered in the same solder blob, which answers the other question "what if i plug too many devices on the same molex with "y" adaptors)> they will be supplied the same wattage weather they are seperate from eachother or not, it will only depends on the max your PS is able to supply Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeseMan42 Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 i know this may be a little late but if you are worried about that, you should have used a permanent marker to make a little mark on the metal so you would be able to tell where each one goes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
