Power Connector for Mac Mini
« on: 25 Jan 2014, 07:38 pm »
I would like to purchase a 2011 Mac Mini power connector so that I can convert my Mac Mini without tearing apart the switching power supply currently installed.  Does anyone have a model number of the connector?

Thanks,
Ed

Thanks Bladesmith, mine does as well.  I am actually trying to refer to the small connector that connects the output of the switching power supply to the mainboard.  I would like to purchase one so that I can make a 12VDC battery connection.

The part number for the nine wire molex cable is 922-9563... This runs between the motherboard and the internal power supply...  :thumb: Some places charge $50, but I have been able to buy a few @$15.. Shop around.. Looks like Amazon has three in stock for $14.95..

Ebag4,

Will the 12v dc battery power help lower noise ?

Are there other benefits ?

Just curious.

From my experience, yes.  I will know more once I get to try it.
