A 4-pin Molex power cable that matches the hard drive/CD-ROM power connectors found on AT and ATX power supplies. Use it to tap into 5V or 12V DC from a desktop power supply for your projects — a convenient source of regulated power for high-current applications like LED strips, motors, and displays.
The cable comes with a pass-through connector on the other end (it's an adapter cable). Simply cut off the second connector before use to access the individual wires.
Key Features
- 4-Pin Molex Connector – Standard IDE/Molex power connector compatible with AT/ATX supplies
- 5V and 12V Access – Tap into both voltage rails from a single cable
- Pass-Through Design – Second connector can be cut off for direct wire access
Ideal For
- Powering electronics projects from an ATX supply
- LED lighting and display projects
- Bench power supply setups
- High-current 5V or 12V applications
Package Contents
- 1× 4-Pin Molex Power Cable (adapter style)
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- IDE
- Short for Integrated Development Environment, a program used to write, run and manage code. It matters because some learners prefer a traditional coding workspace instead of a guided notebook-style lesson.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
