A Molex connector is a type of electrical connector commonly used in computer hardware and other electronic devices. It typically features a plastic housing with multiple pins that allow for secure connections between components, such as power supplies and circuit boards. The design helps ensure reliable electrical connections while minimizing the risk of accidental disconnection. These connectors come in various configurations, including 4-pin and 6-pin versions, and are often used to connect power to hard drives, optical drives, and other peripherals. Their widespread use in the electronics industry makes them a standard choice for many applications requiring stable power delivery.
