the colour pinout description is wrong. it contradicts other wikipedia pages and cited pages from this page.
since it inverts the 5v and 12v, this is perhaps a bit unfortunate for anyone connecting electrical equipment..
-ggm I agree. I will make the change: 12v yellow and 5v red. -- Daleh 15:09, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Any chance of a schema detailing what's on each pin?

This page formerly said that Molex most commonly refers to the AT disk drive connector and the .1" header connector. I believe that it refers at least as commonly to a few other types (it was in common used before the disk drive connector existed) and I have never heard the term used for the header connector. If you look in electronics catalogs, you'll see a variety Molex connectors given equal billing. However, I do agree that people who work on PCs and not other kinds of electronics frequently refer to the disk drive power connector as Molex. So I reworded the description to say in the PC context, that's what it means and removed the reference to the .1" header connector.

The page currently says that "only one type of connector originated by Molex is commonly used inside computers". This appears to be wrong. For one, the ATX power cables (and the 4 and 8 pin ATX12V cables, the 6 and 8 pin pcie cables, and some associated connectors) are all Molex Mini-Fit Jr connectors. I think the '3.5" floppy' power connector may also be a Molex original. Most of the interface connectors (like ISA/PCI/VGA/PCIe/Slot1&A) are from different origins, though. 80.101.113.45 ( talk) 22:18, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
Yes, it's definitely wrong. Molex makes tons of connectors, including SATA ones. Here are some useful sources for various information about Molex connectors:

Isn't the red wire on a Molex connector 5.5 volts? RanDawg 17:00, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
The articles say "Most recently Molex acquired Woodhead Industries in the largest acquisition in its history." Most recently is extremely generic and completely inappropriate. It should be replaced by a specific date.
