Well, I guess they only need to establish an electric conductivity and support a couple of tiny mA, right? I don't see why a paper clip shouldn't do the trick or even damage your PSU! Then again, be warned, I'm no electrician or anything!
Yes it is very small thats why a paperclip is commonly used. If put in wrong spot is the thing you have to make sure not to do. Hey, is it OK if i use a paperclip but put it in the wrong spot? No, if you use paperclip in wrong spots it could be bad. You are dealing with electricity. What if I want I don't want to put it in the right spot?

Could possibly hurt yourself or psu. The proper spots are important.

Paperclips work fine....had one on my KNC Jupiter 550gh for 14 months no issue.... did switch to this however they work well currently using 3 ...they look cool also (ebay link below) http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-ANTMINER-PSU-SWITCH-FOR-BITCOIN-MINERS-COMPUTER-WORKBENCHES-/291353649148?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43d607dffcwell worth the 4 bucks and shipping imho....look cool in the pics too boot....my setup below ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FAbceE4t.jpg&t=665&c=AVcSh19HcJsRkQ) the rest of my setup is in the link below if anyone cares.... http://lostgonzo.imgur.com/wish everything worked as well as a paperclip or the above psu switch with mining...I'd be thrilled ......in reality not so much. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Why resigning mining your? If you mean from my link the KNC 550gh Jupiter underneath on the shelves..yeah that is 'retired' it made me 50 BTC a touch over that.......so it can have the greener pastures of a 'paper weight' or holding the table down now....heh.....I'd maybe get $100 usd out of it ...so ...WTH....a 'memento'..... Home mining is dead ....too bad with the setup I have now in the basement I would continue..but unless something breaks for a new home miner in bitcoin or srypt coin it is unlikely....bitcoin miners are likely too big and such for my 100 amp service and there are NO as far as I know ...data hall or home miner or any other versions of any kind ....for asic scrypt/pow coinminers anyway in the works for equipment......so unless something is designed and comes down the pike (prob take 6 months to have something like this hit the consumer of any kind) it has gone the way of home GPU miners in milk crates....so running the last of these KNC no ROI no REFUND Titan units to 'doorstop' status... But again (back on topic) the switches are slick and cute and work well vs the paper clip (which always annoyed me ...back in the day.....they sent me a KNC 550gh Jupiter for $7,131.80 usd on Oct 18th 2013 and a xerox on how to use the paper clip to start the psu's ......I was stunned... I plug'd it in turned away and cringed...was amazed it worked I expected it to 'fry' my Jupiter....never before heard of such a thing.....always bugged me ..this switch ...is A LOT slicker imho so it goes....too bad but the price of miners vs electricity vs what the put out now....at 12c kwh I can't even justify one at 'some' loss of $$$ as a 'toy'...maybe someday ..but it is looking more and more unlikely as time passes and difficulty goes up

well this link below in the description says 20/24 pin....so supposedly a way to do this here is the link to the other auction with that info in description http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antminer-ATX-PSU-Switch-Power-PSU-without-a-Motherboard-20-4-Pin-Connector-/221681075535?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item339d38c54falso found this on how to put a 20 pin into a 24 pin motherboard...anyway others on here should be able to help with this ...anybody? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antminer-ATX-PSU-Switch-Power-PSU-without-a-Motherboard-20-4-Pin-Connector-/221681075535?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item339d38c54fanyway there is a way to get it to work ...If no answer is forthcoming.....you could try the switch the above way on an old unused PSU...see if it works? anyway...anybody some feedback on above? (been awhile I think that is how it works?) Added: I asked Dogie seems like the above is correct he sent me a PM quoted below: From: Doggie Re: (No subject) « Sent to: Searing on: April 04, 2015, 03:42:50 PM » You guys answered it yourselves, 20 pin is fine and just looks like your picture. end quote...so I guess we are correct on the above picture.....

yeah they are all the same product the switch instead of the paper clip above I mean ...whatever gets you the best price and how to use it I guess...anyway i'm a sucker for cute LCD lights and 'whirly' noises of the fans on doing this home mining...gonna miss it......I'd also get these for your miners mine are 220v versions they have already saved my equip 2x..you can also see them on my imgur site with my Titan miners at http://lostgonzo.imgur.com/http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-EURO-4-International-Protector/dp/B00006HZ4M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428133737&sr=8-1&keywords=tripp+lite+eurocomes with the cord from the surge protector to the miner unit with standard plug ..if at 220v you have to get the plug for your preferred 220v wall socket you need as an extra cord these also come at 120v for those miners....that is the only other real thing that is very worthwhile..I know off topic from the switch but it really saved my butt on a bad storm with big brown outs and surges......actually 2x they have saved my ass...anyway again switch is cool.......paper clip is fine also. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

deleted my msg...not sure how it will work on a 20 pin ....someone has to know.....at worse get the switch and try it on a crappy PSU or go to a local computer shop and see if they have an idea.....it is so obvious...i can't find an answer heh.....i used to know this but it has been years and what works on a mother board may not work on the psu as a switch if i can FIND my crappy PSU around here i will try it ....but no idea where it is..even thou i have a spare switch since i retired the knc 550gh jupiter miner Well, I guess they only need to establish an electric conductivity and support a couple of tiny mA, right? I don't see why a paper clip shouldn't do the trick or even damage your PSU! Then again, be warned, I'm no electrician or anything!
Yes it is very small thats why a paperclip is commonly used. If put in wrong spot is the thing you have to make sure not to do. Hey, is it OK if i use a paperclip but put it in the wrong spot? that would be very bad....imho...just saying.......when in doubt on switches etc just use the paper clip method Why resigning mining your? http://lostgonzo.imgur.com/I assume you mean the knc 550gh jupiter bitcoin miner on the bottom shelf it is retired...doubt home miners are gonna come back the knc titan scrypt miners above are the last i fear

In my opinion, it's better to use a small piece of isolated wire, better for your PSU and your safety.

If you put the paperclip in the right holes it should not get hot or carry much electricity. The tape is really to keep the paperclip in place. Yes electrical tape works perfect for that.
