220-801 · Question #428

Which of the following voltages can be measured from a Molex connector on the power supply? (Select TWO).

The correct answer is C. 5 volts D. 12 volts. A standard 4-pin Molex connector (also called a peripheral or LP4 connector) provides two voltage rails: +5V (red wire) and +12V (yellow wire), along with two ground wires (black). These connectors were traditionally used to power IDE hard drives, optical drives, and case fans…

Which of the following voltages can be measured from a Molex connector on the power supply? (Select TWO).

Explanation

A standard 4-pin Molex connector (also called a peripheral or LP4 connector) provides two voltage rails: +5V (red wire) and +12V (yellow wire), along with two ground wires (black). These connectors were traditionally used to power IDE hard drives, optical drives, and case fans. The other options are incorrect: 1.5V and 3V are not provided by Molex connectors, and 115V is AC wall voltage - power supplies convert AC to DC, so no internal connector carries 115V.
