Can any of you /g/entoomen please fill me in on this unusual front LED power connector?

Well, what do you want to know about it? It's a molex and you use it normally to conduct power
>>
that pin layout is commonly used for PSU fans
>>
>>59045110
So since the motherboard has no spot for this to be connected I should obtain a molex to 2pin converter.

>>59045233
or... if you're too impatient, just mickey mouse the fucker. Pair of scissors or knife and electrical tape is all you need.
>>
>>59045011
It's a cable with a positive and negative lead. 2 pin friction lock connector that is designed to only fit the connector with one orientation.

I suggest sticking paper clips into the sockets, and connecting alligator clips from your car battery to both of the paperclips.

>It's a molex
Oh yea, it's that one connector they make.

>>59045011
Really though, if you google "fan connector" it'll get you what you need. Generally "Molex to fan connector will get you anything from Molex IDE to KK and beyond.

^all you need to connect most shit you get on Amazon/eBay^

>>59045254
That's a "polarization key." Also, if you don't know what series of Molex that is and haven't already fucked around with your car battery, chances are, and I repeat, chances are, you shouldn't be fucking around with your car battery. Much better ways to fuck around with 12v, such as batteries and/or finding/buying a 12v wall wart.
>>
>>59045011
are you asking for a quick rundown?
>>
>>59045559
gee whiz thanks for the buzzwords and tripcode. What you are referring to as a "wall wart" is actually a transformer combined with a full wave rectifier.

I suggest plugging wires directly into the mains outlet and connecting them to your breadboard so you have plenty of electricity to work with. Just be sure to use a few current limiting resistors for safety. Remember, it's not the volts that kill you. It's the amps.

>>59045011
Trim those fucking claws, niglet.
>>
>>59045011
Its just an LED connector. If your mobo doesn't have a place for it labeled LED or the like then I suggest finding an LED controller that lets you just plug it in so if you get more you dont need to buy even more converters
>>
>unusual
>generic as fuck 2pin probably 3.3v connector
>>
>>59045011
Just connect it to a 3pin fan connector on the motherboard.
