| Jon I <jonkk987@aol.com>: Jan 26 06:23PM -0500 I accidentally cut off the 24 pin ATX power supply connector because I thought I was going to use the power supply for another purpose, but that turned out not to be the case. I want to reinstall back into the desktop, but I have a question: since all the red, yellow, orange, and black wires were going to be combined (for greater current handling in non-PC use), I am wondering if I could just combine the same color cutoff wires from the connector with the ones coming from the power supply? Would sure save a lot of extra soldering. For example, in case I'm not clear, can I combine all the orange wires from the supply and all the orange wires from the connector and solder together? Thanks in advance. |

Thanks in > advance. Yes. I'd wire each wire separately but I'm anal. However you could blob all the same colours together and then insulate carefully.

I'd rewire each separately using similar wire to the original. Take ya time and use heat shrink, leaded solder and a good soldering iron. It's not a difficult job to be considering short cuts. -- Adrian C |
