Title: Blade Power to Molex Connector
Post by: goastler on February 18, 2014, 04:12:24 PM
What are the things called to connect the V2 Blades to power via molex?

http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Molex-4-Pin-Pole-Mount-Terminal-Block-Socket-5-08mm-for-ASIC-Blade-Miner-Bitcoin-/00/s/NDAwWDQwMA==/z/XQEAAMXQVERSvOVh/$_12.JPG

Those things^

Also, where can I buy some cheap? Got a couple of blades in the post and the seller was stingy enough not to include the connectors :(

I'm in the UK so I would like to buy said connectors from somewhere in the UK if possible to avoid customs and VAT for international items

They look like these PP2451 on ebay.com (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=9&pub=5575000824&toolid=10001&campid=5337427080&customid=PP2451&icep_uq=PP2451&icep_sellerId=&icep_ex_kw=&icep_sortBy=12&icep_catId=&icep_minPrice=&icep_maxPrice=&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg) and there are some one the UK ebay.co.uk site (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=9&pub=5575000824&toolid=10001&campid=5337427080&customid=PP2451&icep_uq=PP2451&icep_sellerId=&icep_ex_kw=&icep_sortBy=12&icep_catId=&icep_minPrice=&icep_maxPrice=&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229508&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg) too.

Also on the Amazon.co.uk PP2451 UK (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0091H220O/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B0091H220O&linkCode=as2&tag=bitcoinmines-21)


And ones with a picture from a better angle, on the US ebay (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575000824&toolid=10001&campid=5337427080&customid=PP2451&icep_item=121204167361&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg), but probably located in China....

That's great. I just couldn't get to see a picture at the same angle as yours, but its go to be worth a try. I think they are quite a common connector and not expensive, no idea why your vendor didn't include them with your blades.

They're known as Phoenix connectors.  Very common in professional audio equipment.
