Trying to find connectors.

Post by brdfryr123 »

I am looking for the 2-conductor connectors for the ATX power switch to the motherboard. I can't seem to find them anywhere. I am upgrading my motherboard and the Compaq connector is unique, 6 conductor connector. Thanks, Bill

if you can't find one, you can use the 2 connector reset switch instead - i did this with an AT/ATX conversion

You can also buy a switch with the connector at Directron

or hit the garage sales this weekend and buy a complete ancient PC for less than the switch from Directron and yank out what you need.
