Since I got one motherboard that was severely damaged from the old Farta battery leak, i had to remove a lot of components and also the AT power connector. I found all of them online to buy but that one. It was obsolete years ago and I cannot find any shop that sells them.
So was wondering is the Molex 366420001 the only substitute (of course having 2x6 instead of 1x12)?
Do you have any link for a 1x12 AT power connector?

Thanks!

I know that, but there is no 1x12 header available anywhere, the only one I found was the 6pin Molex 366420001...

This one looks identical to what I had to desolder... Or if someone knows if it is possible to buy only the pins, since the plastics are ok, is the pins that are corroded and missing.

You are correct, 36642-0001 is the official replacement part, declared as such from molex itself.
Don't worry about it coming in two pieces, it's perfectly fine. Most AT PSU connectors come in two pieces anyway (P8/P9 connectors)

What if I need only the pins of the male socket? Is there any valid source? I was looking through farnell, mouser and tme but cannot find only the pins. Also molex page does not show any info about those connectors anymore.

I would just desolder the power connector from an old broken unrepairable motherboard.
If you only need one piece, I can send it to you.

Well actually i do need only one, because got to repair a heavily damaged board... The electrolite ate away all the plating and solder from a big area around the power connector..
Where are you from?

you can still get 12pin AT male: https://www.peconnectors.com/power-pc-connectors/hws13932/ (Where do you get 12-pin at connectors?)
