what is this connector?

Hey Guys,

can anyone point me to the proper name for such a connector? Thank you

Looks like a motherboard P4 connector (4 pins). Depending on the motherboard, they sometimes snap together to fit into an 8-pin socket, but usually just one plugs into a 4-pin socket--the one with the differently-shaped white plug-ends, not the one with all the ends shaped the same.

I can't quite see in your image, but if they're 6-pin connectors, they're auxiliary power connectors for high-end video cards.

Actually Dennis, the 4-pin ATX extra connector isn't yellow/black, and can be optionally connected to the large ATX motherboard connector.

I should clarify that the 6-pin video card connectors are PCI-Express auxiliary power connectors.
