Hello guys, hows it going? I recently managed to desolder the old IDE connector from the packard bell. I am looking to solder a new IDE connector on, any advice? I have some old dead/crap motherboards laying about so I think I'll take off one from them. Also could you link me to a pinout for an IDE connector? Thanks.

Main: AMD FX 6300 six core 3.5ghz (OC 4ghz)
16gb DDR3, Nvidia Geforce GT740 4gb Gfx card, running Win7 Ultimate x64
Linux: AMD Athlon 64 4000+, 1.5GB DDR, Nvidia Quadro FX1700 running Debian Jessie 8.4.0

Pin header connectors are inexpensive, you could just buy a new one: mouser.com/ProductDetail/3M/30340-6002H ... t2yg%3d%3d

Pinout can be found here: http://pinouts.ru/HD/AtaInternal_pinout.shtml
You'll have to remove pin 20 to make your IDE cables fit.

Would this work? This is more like the one that was on my motherboard.http://www.surplussales.com/ComputerAccess/IH … Connectors.html

Any of those headers will fit, as long as it has 40 pins with 0.1 inch spacing/pitch 😀
