Motherboard Header/Connectors

[lozmachine]

Where can I buy some of these (UK):

as i'm replacing a load of motherboards and the front power/led/hdd panel has an all in one connection. I had a couple of old 2 pin connectors lying around to do 1 of the pc's, but now i've got a load more to do, and no connectors!

I don't even know what you'd call them which makes it all the worse..

Cheers

I would not replace the connectors right away. Some will work by letting the open pins (with no wires) hang off the case cluster connector. Only the wired pins need to make contact on some boards. And some have the standard 9 pin case connector so they work fine as is. Can't help you on finding a vender who sells the connectors.

I doubt you'll find these assembled anywhere. They're easy to assemble if you have the proper crimping tool for the contact. Many companies make the plastic shells and female contacts. Here's a couple of links.

the only thing is, because its for a variety of motherboards etc the connectors are all different. Thats why I'm looking for single 1 pin or 2 pin connectors so I can customize them as needed..
