If you use a small jewelers flat head screwdriver (or some other similar object), and gently press down on the metal latches in the slots on the side of the plastic connector housing, the wires should pull out. You can then either swap the red and black wires over in the 3-way connector, or preferably plug them in to the old two-pin housing. My new gigabite MB has 24 pin connector slot, my older powersupply has only 20 pin power connector, and a separate 4 pin connector (ATX 12v). My MB specifies this 4 pin connector be connected into a completely separate slot rather than the available slot in the main 24 pin slot. A graphics card with one 6-pin power connector can have maximum power consumption of 150 Watt as it will get 75W from the PCI Express x16 slot and 75W from the 6-pin connector. Most of the mid-range graphics cards from both Nvidia and AMD come with the 6-pin power connector. 8-Pin connector.

You can specify a relative displacement, velocity, or acceleration between two parts in the connector's local directions in a manner similar to defining a boundary condition (see Boundary conditions in Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit). You specify the connector element set name or connector element number; the component number identifying the available component of relative motion being actuated; and the value of the relative displacement, velocity, or acceleration.

The penalty used for enforcing connector motion may lead to a noisy solution, particularly in single precision for some models. Use of double precision is, therefore, preferable in such situations. If performance is a concern for double precision, you can run the constraint packaging and constraint solver in double precision (see Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit execution).

You cannot specify the motion of connectors in a subspace dynamic analysis.

Use the following option in the history portion of the inputfile to specify a relative displacement for a connector:

SLOT and CARDAN connection types.

The figure on the left is a schematic representation of the connection to be modeled, while the figure on the right is the finite element mesh. Displacements in the slot are allowed only along the line of the slot, and connection type SLOT is appropriate for enforcing these kinematics. Assume the pin and slot are constructed in such a way that the only rotation of the pin relative to the slot is along the local 3-direction. This is a revolute constraint; however, basic rotation connection type REVOLUTE uses the local 1-direction as the revolute axis. In this case connection type CARDAN combined with a specified constraint can be used to define a revolute-type connection with the appropriate revolute axis.

Pin Slot Connectors

For illustrative purposes assume the connection is actuated by a rotational velocity of $\pi /4$ radians per second around the pin's axis. Using input parametrization for convenience, the following lines are used:
