AC-voeding ShiverPeaks 78232-HQ – 4-polige 5,25-inch naar 15-polige aansluiting

ShiverPeaks 78232-HQ is an AC power adapter designed to convert a legacy 4-pin 5.25" peripheral power connector to a 15-pin SATA-style power connector. The adapter provides a short, right-angled connection that allows older power supplies or service tools with 4-pin peripheral outputs to feed modern 15-pin powered devices. It is intended for internal desktop use and short routing paths where compatibility between legacy and current power connectors is required.

Advantages

The adapter offers a compact, low-profile design with a right-angled 15-pin connector to reduce strain and improve cable routing in tight chassis spaces. Its short cable length minimizes clutter and potential interference within a system. The device enables straightforward compatibility between older four-pin peripheral power outputs and 15-pin power inputs without requiring modifications to power supplies or target devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting legacy 4-pin peripheral power outputs to 15-pin powered drives or peripherals
• Internal desktop repairs, maintenance and quick compatibility checks
• System upgrades where the power supply lacks native 15-pin connectors
• Service bench setups and short-distance internal cable routing

Key specifications

• Connector conversion: 4-pin Molex (5.25") to 15-pin SATA-style power
• Right-angled 15-pin connector to reduce clearance requirements
• Cable length: approximately 0.13 m for short internal routing
• Designed for internal desktop use and short-distance connections
• Male-to-female configuration for direct adapter connection

How to use

Power off the system and disconnect from mains before installing the adapter. Plug the 4-pin 5.25" connector into the corresponding peripheral power output of the power supply or service tool, then attach the 15-pin connector to the device requiring a 15-pin power input. Ensure connectors are fully seated and oriented correctly; the right-angled plug helps align in confined spaces. After installation, verify all connections and restore power to check device operation.

Recommendations

Use the adapter only for short internal connections and not as a permanent replacement for proper cabling in high-current or long-run installations. Avoid excessive bending near the right-angled connector and ensure the adapter is not exposed to moisture or heat sources. If a device draws unusually high current, consult the device documentation and consider using a dedicated power supply cable or harness designed for higher loads.
