12v-2x6 Connector PCIe-5.1
Welcome to PCIe-5.1: This 12v-2x6 cable-end connector is compatible with the 12V-2x6 (PCIe-5.1) PCB-headers/sockets on your GPU and the previous 12VHPWR (PCIe-5.0) headers/sockets on the PCB of your GPU. The difference between the two names (12V-2x6 or 12VHPWR) refers to the PCB-headers/sockets on the card itself. The 12V-2x6 headers/sockets on the PCB must have "H++" stamped on them in order to identify the shorter signal pin position. The cable end connector still has "H+" ("H++" might be optional in the future) stamped on it, because there is no change in dimensions or distances as it happened with the revised PCB header/sockets. The connector is fully compatible with both PCB-header versions. So what's new with this cable end connector for PCIe-5.1 12v-2x6 in our offering?The difference is in the ampere rating for the crimp terminals: The included Amphenol crimp terminals are now rated for up to 12A per terminal! This massively exceeds the official PCIe-5.1 specification of 9.2A per crimp terminal.(Advice: For practice purposes or non-high-end-GPU, you can order a couple of the discounted 12VHPWR connector & 9.2A crimp terminal kits, found here: 12VHPWR). You can't have enough of a safety zone when it comes to such small connections with high currents. Make your own maximum safety (!) PCIe-5.1 custom cables, as shown in our PCIe-5.1 12V-2x6 and 12VHPWR custom cable guide. You don't need to sleeve the wires, but at least you fully control the process and perfect result. The original 12A high current Amphenol crimp terminals for 12v-2x6 connections feature the single-seam (not the potentially unsafe 2 seams) design and additionally a spring type design (not the potentially unsafe dimple design) in horizontal alignment and a maximum contact area / flat surface vertically - without any contact area reducing dimples! The 12v-2x6 connector features 12-pins for electrical power and 4-pins for side-band information. When you order one (1) connector, you will also get twice the amount (24) of needed electrical power crimp terminals and twice the amount (8) of needed signal / side-band crimp terminals, allowing you to learn and practice crimping these smaller than usual (compared to ATX and common PCI-Express) crimp terminals. Important knowledge about making custom cables with the new PCIe 5.1, 12v-2x6 connector standard: Have a look at our PCIe-5.1 12V-2x6 and 12VHPWR custom cable guide Due to the smaller sizes in every aspect, pin to pin distance (pitch) of 3.00 mm (regular ATX / PCIe = 4.20 mm), a narrower wire insertion slot width of only 2.7 mm and smaller sized crimp terminals, you are much more limited with your choice of wire. The maximum outer diameter of your wire for the power crimp terminals can not exceed 2.7 mm, including the crimp terminal material on top of your wire insulation! The signal / side band crimp terminals are used with 23-AWG or 26-AWG wire (see gallery image for crimping technique tips). For the power wires, we recommend wire with a maximum outer diameter of 2.0 mm or less, for example a very high quality 17 AWG wire, which typically handles a current of 12 to 15 ampere easily. A 16 AWG wire, as recommended in the PCIe 5.1 specs, can result in imperfect crimps, which is a potential risk for your hardware. 18 AWG would be too far away from original specs in terms of electrical capacities and shouldn't be used if you don't want to risk your hardware. The gallery shows how to crimp such a wire with our CTX-3 crimping tool. Insert the empty crimp terminal into the smallest slot, close the handles only to the first stop. Strip the wire on a length between 2.5 to 3.0 mm. Insert the stripped wire correctly into the rear of the crimp terminal (as described in the gallery of the CTX-3 crimp tool). Close the handles of the crimping tool until there is good physical resistance, but not as far as the crimping tool can close! Use the "pre-opening technique" for the crimp tool, by using the little lever on the inner side of the bottom handle, as described in the CTX-3 product description text. Insert the crimped wire into the rear of the connector. As always: The top of the crimp terminal faces to the top of the connector. The top of the connector is on the side where the retention lock is. If you want to sleeve the wires "shrinkless", with the wire going into the connector, as shown in our PCIe-5.1 12V-2x6 and 12VHPWR custom cable guide, you will use our MICRO sleeve, our 17-AWG wires (18 AWG would be too low in terms of electrical performance) and our transparent MICRO heat-shrink (to melt the sleeving perfectly). Removing / extracting the crimp terminals from the connector: Just pull with enough force in the direction of the wire. Before you re-insert the wire into the connector, make sure to re-bend the retention hooks on the terminal to its original position. Don't do this too often, as the fine structure of the hook might take damage. Enjoy the original PCI-Express Gen 5.1, 12v-2x6 16-pin connector and your custom PCIe 5 cables!
PCIe-5 Connector 12VHPWR
This original 12VHPWR connector by Amphenol is compatible with 12VHPWR (PCIe-5.0) and 12V-2x6 (PCIe-5.1) PCB-headers on your GPU. The difference between the two names refers to the PCB-header versions on the card itself. The connector is fully compatible with both versions. Make your own PCIe-5 custom cables, as shown in our PCIe-5 12VHPWR custom cable guide: You don't need to sleeve the cables, but you should at least make the cables yourself to fully control their perfect technical quality and lengths, so you don't depend on others! The original Amphenol 12VHPWR crimp terminals feature the single-seam (not the potentially unsafe 2 seams) design and additionally a spring type design (not the potentially unsafe dimple design) in horizontal alignment and a maximum contact area / flat surface vertically - without any contact area reducing dimples! The 12VHPWR connector features 12-pins for electrical power and 4-pins for side-band information. When you order one (1) connector, you will also get twice the amount (24) of needed electrical power crimp terminals and twice the amount (8) of needed signal / side-band crimp terminals, allowing you to learn and practice crimping these smaller than usual (compared to ATX and common PCI-Express) crimp terminals. Important knowledge about making custom cables with the new PCIe 5, 12VHPWR connector standard: Have a look at our PCIe-5 12VHPWR custom cable guide Due to the smaller sizes in every aspect, pin to pin distance (pitch) of 3.00 mm (regular ATX / PCIe = 4.20 mm), a narrower wire insertion slot width of only 2.7 mm and smaller sized crimp terminals, you are much more limited with your choice of wire.

nVidia FE 12-pin connector
Make your own custom cables for this 12-pin nVidia micro-fit connector, as you learn in our nVidia 12-pin micro-fit custom cable guide. This is the 12-pin connector for nVidia FE (founders edition) GPU. This Micro-Fit 3.0 12-pin connector can be used with the following nVidia FE models: 3060, 3060ti, 3070, 3070ti, 3080, 3080ti, 3090. One 12-pin Micro-Fit 3.0 connector comes with 24 crimp terminals, twice as many as you need per connector. This will allow you to re-crimp if things go wrong during crimping. Important knowledge about making custom cables with the 12-pin connector for nVidia FE (founders edition) Have a look at our nVidia 12-pin micro-fit custom cable guide Due to the smaller sizes in every aspect, pin to pin distance (pitch) of 3.00 mm (regular ATX / PCIe = 4.20 mm), a narrower wire insertion slot width of only 2.7 mm and smaller sized crimp terminals, you are much more limited with your choice of wire.

Removing / extracting the crimp terminals from the connector will work slightly different from what you have learned with regular ATX / PCIe: You only insert one tip of the extraction tool (you can also use a needle) on one outer side of the crimp terminal at a time. After insertion and removal of the extraction tool tip, it has permanently pushed the small retention hook on the side of the terminal inwards. This hook doesn't hold the terminal in place on this side anymore. Repeat the same procedure on the other side (other retention hook) and you can pull out the wire. Before you re-insert the wire into the connector, make sure to re-bend the retention hooks on the terminal to its original position. Don't do this too often, as the fine structure of the hook might take damage. Enjoy the original 12-pin connector for nVidia FE (founders edition) GPU 30xx (and Ti) series!

This is manufacturing precision at its best, which you also recognize in every aspect when you work with these 3-pin FAN connectors. Compared to all the no-name ones from China, this is just a different league. They always fit perfectly and go smoothly into the mating connectors. The special short-version guidance "wings" on these FAN connectors will not get in conflict with any heatshrink which is applied over the connector. If you want to own the highest quality in the world of connectors, this is it. You can use these 3-pin FAN connectors with existing crimp terminals already found on your wire, or you combine them with our original FAN crimp terminals. It is very easy to remove wires from FAN connectors: You will only need a small screwdriver, scissor, knife or similar small device with a thin tip. Press down the small "flap" on the top of the crimp terminal, which you access through the slots on the wide side of the connector, as shown on the second photo. While the "flap" is pressed down, you pull out the wire. Very simple!

SATA Connector THROUGH
This is an extremely compact SATA THROUGH push-in connector, which has a depth of only 16mm including the cap. The THROUGH version is made for wires going through the connector, so you can install them in a row of multiple connectors. The cap of the THROUGH connector is open on both sides, for the pass through of the wire. For the last connector on the wire you can use the SATA END push-in connector or of course the SATA crimp connector. The wires (18 AWG, 0.75 mm², 17 AWG 1.00 mm²) are simply pressed down completely into the "blades" of the connector with a flat screwdriver or similar wide object, while you hold the connector stable on a surface. The "blades" of the connector cut through the wire-insulation and make contact to the wire core. You can see the procedure on the third photo in the product gallery.
