Is it normal to have some play in the 12V-2x6 connector terminals?
Last updated: March 12, 2025
Many people have become aware of some play in the terminals of their 12V-2x6 cables. We're going to explain why this play is an intentional design decision.
There's some play in my 12V-2x6 connector’s terminals. Is this normal?
There is a deliberately designed amount of play, a slight movement back and forth, among the terminals within the 12V-2x6 connectors. This subtle mobility ensures that the terminals of the 12V-2x6 cable (formally known as 12VHPWR,) align precisely with the static PCB terminals on the GPU’s power connector. This careful design consideration is crucial for optimal connection.
We have found that with less play comes more insertion force and wear that reduces the number of maximum insertion/withdrawal cycles beyond the specified “30 cycles” found in the terminals’ data sheets.
Below you can see an example showing the correct amount of play in the terminals. The cable in the example video has 0.55mm of play, which is within the 0.25mm to 0.55mm spec we use in our cables.
We use three different vendors for cables, so some will be 0.25mm, others will be 0.55 with the majority being 0.44mm.
Note that the cable in the video looks like it has much more than 0.55mm of play, but don't worry. we measured and its no more than 0.55mm.
What if my 12V-2x6 cable has a lot of play?
If you believe that your cable has too much play, you can reach out to our customer support team here.

Once the cable’s connector is fully inserted, and the connection with the GPU’s power connector is secure, the terminals are stabilized, so the play disappears.

Do the individually sleeved cables have less play?
They don't. The additional thickness gained by the paracord sleeving used in our individually sleeved cables makes it seem like the cable is tighter, but this is not case. The actual terminals within the connector still have the same amount of play as any other 12V-2x6 cable.

12V-2x6 连接器端子之间有间隙正常吗?
最后更新时间:2025 年 3 月 12 日
许多人已经注意到他们的 12V-2x6 线缆端子之间有一些间隙。我们将解释为什么这种间隙是故意为之的设计。
我的 12V-2x6 连接器端子之间有一些间隙。这正常吗?
12V-2x6 连接器内部的端子之间特意设计了间隙,即轻微的来回移动。这种细微的移动确保了 12V-2x6 线缆(正式名称为 12VHPWR)的端子与 GPU 电源连接器上的静态 PCB 端子精确对齐。这种精心的设计考量对于实现最佳连接至关重要。
我们发现,游隙越小,插入力和磨损就越大,从而导致最大插拔次数减少,超过端子数据表中规定的“30 次”。
下面是一个示例,显示了端子中正确的游隙量。示例视频中的电缆游隙为 0.55 毫米,符合我们电缆使用的 0.25 毫米至 0.55 毫米的规格。
我们使用三个不同的电缆供应商,因此有些电缆的游隙为 0.25 毫米,有些为 0.55 毫米,大多数为 0.44 毫米。
请注意,视频中的电缆看起来游隙远大于 0.55 毫米,但不用担心。我们测量后发现它不超过 0.55 毫米。
如果我的 12V-2x6 电缆游隙很大怎么办?

12V-2x6 线材端子
一旦线材的连接器完全插入,并与 GPU 的电源连接器牢固连接,端子就会稳定,因此间隙消失。

独立护套线材的间隙会减小吗?
不会。我们独立护套线材中使用的伞绳护套增加了厚度,使线材看起来更紧实,但事实并非如此。连接器内的实际端子仍然具有与其他 12V-2x6 线材相同的间隙。 |
