Looking for Hardrive Connector Manufacturer

[Son Luu]

Hi,
I'm looking for the manufacturer of the combo connector using in
the ATA hardrive. Is this kind of connector off the shelf or
proprietary. Appreciate for your help.

The power connector is seperate to the IDE connector, and both are
off-the-shelf. The jumpers are merely jumpers, also available readily.
Unless you have a weird unit which is different, in which case you'll need
to give us a make/model of the drive.

Not so - all of the recent hard drives I've looked at have had the jumpers,
IDE connector, and 4 pin power connector integrated into one piece of
plastic. The drive sitting on my desk - a Western Digital - has only that
single connector. I have some memory of seeing one of those with "Amp"
written on it - though I did not see that on the bottom of my Western
Digital (with the top being hidden from view) - so I could be wrong.

interesting, i've owned a bunch of hard drives, they all had separate
connectors. i haven't owned a laptop type hard disk, which has ata+power
integrated into a single dual row .1" connector. if you can't find the
connectors stock it probably means they're proprietary to the drive
manufacturer, if you really really want that type of connector and they
won't sell to you, tough titty, but it can't hurt to ask.

At least on some drives it appears to be a single connector.

This is a bit fuzzy but I seem to recall seeing such connectors in a
SAMTEC catalog.

No, it is not separate to the IDE connector. There is a standard
surface-mount (reflow) part that contains the power pins, IDE interface
pins, and three jumpers (i.e. 6 pins on .100 centers as 3x2) all in a
single piece of plastic.
