Mini IDE CABLES & LAPTOP Mini IDE Cables AMIGA A1200 / A600 mini 44 way TERMINOLOGY "External" refers to the fact that the hard drive or IDE device is mounted outside that computer or device.
It refers to the fact that there will be one 44 way female connector attached to the male connector on a
mother board and the remainder of the cable exits the computer such as in the case of an Lap top via the HD lid.

Special Miniature 44 way Cable supplied and assembled exclusively by Unitech Electronics P/L

for 2.5 " I.D.E Hard Drives to 3.5" hard drives CD ROM Cables, Assembled in SYDNEY


   Please note: We do not make Male to Female ( M<-->F ) mini IDE cables, that is to say, we have not been 
   able to perfect a successful way of attaching mini 44 way cables to a mini 44 way male header connector
   as there are not enough conductors and heat via the soldering process alters the metallurgical properties, 
   thus rendering the wires brittle giving rise to the individual cables "snapping" during attempted assembly.

All prices shown as excluding GST and for Australia with 10% GST added.

Note: The old AMIGA Users ONLY:
The following hand made cables are supplied with power connections to the internal rear connections
within the old Amiga A1200 , C.01210 , C.01220 , C.01230 , C.01234 , C.01237 , C.01240 , C.01245 ,
C.01255 , C.01275 and C.03020. Note : C.01280 is supplied with a ( C.99009 ) dual power splitter
cable. For fitting to other computer brands, please advise us of your cable length requirements.

Why it is so, why I can't just use a 44 way male header !

This is a specially made Female to Female cable with Standard 5 Volt power connector for
installing a mini 2.5" 44 pin IDE hard drive into where you would have normally connected
a standard 3.5" 40 pin Hard drive and an adapter is impractical, due to size restrictions.

The IDC Terminology:

Please Click here for

hard drive pin out picture

Click on the " What are the 44 pins for ? " Gadget and view where they go to.

What does I D C mean ?


 So...What does IDC mean ??..Simple, ..." Insulation Displacement Connector".
 
 The plastic insulation is displaced by the sharp metal "fork" of the upper connection allowing 
 the wire within to make good contact  with the connector, the wires line up with their 
 respective connecting "forks" and are "pressed" in assembly as an interference fit, thus 
 assuring good electrical connectivity.

 Dual 2.5" , refers to a cable with two mini 44 way connectors attached at one end and one more 
 mini 44 way connector attached at the other end, the cable is of a certain length.

 This cable is used where one connector connects onto the 44 way header pins on the mother 
 board, the other two connect to two other 2.5" mini IDE hard drives, these typically are 
 mounted within the A1200's case.

 Single 3.5" refers to where one end connects via a 44 way connector to the mother board,the 
 other connects to a 3.5" IDE device such as a 3.5" Hard drive.

 A Single 2.5" refers to one connector attaching to the internal mother board's 44 way male pins 
 and one to the mini 2.5" internal Hard drive.

 Dual 3.5" refers to a cable with two standard 40 way connectors attached on a mini 44 way cable 
 of a certain length.

 The mini 44 way connector attaches to the mother board and there are two 3.5" device 
 connectors attached, they can be internal or external,  please tell us and make your choice 
 when ordering.
 
 Internal refers to the fact that the hard drive or IDE device is mounted inside that computer, 
 either 2.5" or 3.5" with insulation.

 You can fit a single 2.5" hard drive, or two of 2.5" hard drives all inside an A1200, or one 3.5" 
 hard drive, or amazing as it may seem, we have very successfully fitted a 2.'" drive and a 3.5"
 hard drive within an Amiga A1200 case, it was a tight squeeze, but it can be and has been done. 
 Solder the 3.5" hard drive power wires directly to the rear of the power-in connector to get 
 power.

 Power must come "Off" the rear of the power input connector. There are no other options.
