40-Pin IDE Male Connector Header

The Unique-Bargains 40P IDE Male Connector Ribbon Cable Header provides a standard 0.1" pitch interface for connecting legacy IDE ribbon cables. It is intended for technicians repairing or maintaining older computer systems or industrial equipment that still rely on parallel ATA drive connections. The black plastic and metal housing measures 5.8 x 0.9 x 1.2cm and weighs 6g.

Repair technicians for legacy parallel ATA hardware

This connector suits engineers and hobbyists who need to replace a damaged header on an existing 40-pin IDE cable assembly or custom wiring harness. It is not suitable for anyone building or upgrading modern storage interfaces, as it only supports the older parallel signalling standard. Buyers requiring newer drive connection types should look elsewhere.

40-pin male interface with 0.1" pitch

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 40-pin male configuration built to a 0.1" pin pitch. This matches standard IDE ribbon cables used with older hard drives and optical drives. Verify that the target device uses this exact pin count and spacing before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does the 40-pin IDE male header generate any heat or noise when used continuously?

The connector is a passive plastic-and-metal component with no active electronics, so it produces no heat or audible noise during operation.

What cable pitch must the ribbon cable already have for this 40-pin header to fit?

The header uses a 0.1-inch pitch, matching standard IDE ribbon cables.

Will this 40-pin IDE male header work with older 40-conductor IDE cables I still have?

Yes, the 0.1-inch pitch and 40-pin layout are identical to legacy IDE cables, so it connects directly.
