I've tried every search possible to locate the "power backplane" for that power supply. Do you know the part number or have any suggestions? It looks like it might be a part of the chasis backplane assembly, but of course we're only interested in the plugs/connectors for the psu.

How many positions has the connector have?

1. There's this one from Digikey, but it has only 35 positions i.e 24 signal and 11 power.

2. This one is 24 signal and 12 power

3. This is also 24 signal 12 power, but has a twist to it ... seems to be a male one


The correct one is 51940-046LF (6P 20S 6P). The reference is clearly readable on my boards.

Spacing between the power blades isn't the same on most of the other connectors that can be found.
0.20"(5.08mm) for the good one.

Most of the connectors you will find will have 0.25"(6.35mm) spacing, some will have 0.30"(7.62mm) spacing, and I even found some wixh mixed spacing.

I even searched TE connectivity, Molex and another manufacturer for something that is in stock and will fit.
