What are these connectors on the PicoPSU called?

In the upper right corner here. And another view of one with nothing plugged in here.

These connectors are what the hard drive power wires plug into. I am considering making my own short cable that would just have two SATA plugs, since they don't sell such a thing, but I have no idea what kind of connector they are using.

The angle is kind of bad but, maybe floppy drive power connectors?

They are smaller than floppy connectors.

Here's another picture:

I'm having trouble finding good clear shots of the connector.

It's a proprietary connector. At least in PC circles. It's a very small connector just used to deliver power from the Pico PSU to the Molex and floppy connectors.

That one isn't really a plug at all, the one on the left is.

The right one is made up of a crimp pin mounted in a plastic carrier then soldered in a pcb hole. I've seen them in audio amps. I'll see if I can find one on digikey.

Okay, I *think* it's a Molex PicoBlade. Unfortunately that doesn't help me much, as it's no cheaper to buy them from suppliers (that I can find them on) than it is to buy the PicoPSU cable and cannibalize it.

No, it definitely is. I've removed it myself. Sorry the pics suck. Here is Molex's page for PicoBlade and it looks just like it (different number of pins though): http://www.molex.com/molex/products...oducts&chanName=family&pageTitle=Introduction

Looks like the prices at Mouser would actually make it cheaper than cannibalizing a PicoPSU cable, but I think the labor required (and the lack of a proper crimping tool for the tiny terminals) would probably not make it worth the hassle.
