What type of wire will fit the positive and negative output ports on the front of the power supply? Can I attach a wire by itself?

I used push banana in leads like what is used with a volt meter and you can use an eye connector crimped to a wire, just unscrew the red and black terninals on the power supply. I have mine setup with both. You can buy the connectors at Amazon or at an auto parts store.California Terminal 5101 80 Piece Solderless Terminal Kit with Storage BoxElenco Electronics TL-16 Banana to Large Alligator Test Lead Set

The terminals unscrew and you can twist wire around it and then tighten it down. There is also a hole in the post you can thread the wire through.but the hole is only big enough for #16 or smaller wire. The posts are also designed to accept a banana plug. Solder a banana connector to your wire for the best results. you can purchase wire with a banana plug on one or both ends if you done like to solder. using the screw terminals tend to come loose. The banana plugs stay put.

the front will take a type of connector (bananna) and you connect bare wires through holes on the sides. This unit has worked well for me with no problems, good luck, pHil

A person asking such a question as that, probably should not be attaching wires to anything that has a higher voltage than 1.5 Volts DC. That type of question shows that he/she may not have enough experience or knowledge of electicity/electronics to be safe around higher voltages and electroic equipment. For your own safety: please seek on-site advice from an experienced electronic technician or electrician before attaching electrical wires to anything.

I believe my Yausea 2m had 14awg power supply leads coming out of it. I attached banana plugs to the end of the power supply leads then plugged them into the power supply terminals.

Yes. Either way, it's directly compatible with a standard 2-pin power cord.Take a look: http://images10.newegg.com/productimage/12-519-025-02.jpg

The center pin is negative and the outer rim is positive. Most DC power supplies are center-negative, but a few are center-positive so check the supply before you plug it in. There will be a diagram on the power supply telling you which configuration it is.

....use any ole 12V power supply you have left over from stuff you've thrown away. it will need to be 300ma or higher. polarity does matter!

any standard size atx power supply will fit but cable management will be a challenge... it will not be a problem but full modular will do really great.

Any way you want, all this does is connect sets of connections together, so the top screw on the right side connects to the top screw on the left side, but no other screws. same for 2nd screw down, 3rd, etc. You can use any set of screws for positive, negative, and even indifferent voltage... :)

Wires hook to the posts on coil , one side is negative and other side is positive

Chris, Most of these DC power supplies are center positive. The connector configuration (polarity) is always displayed on the front or the back label on the PS.

Any standard power supply will fit. You will need to determine your overall system requirements before you decide what wattage you will need.

Yes, take out your ficm module, open the casing and compare to the power supply picture to yours. Easy fix.

This unit provides both a negative and positive post on the face of the unit itself. Each is equipped with a thumb-screw nut and you can connect your wires directly to these posts. You can run these wires to whatever you are powering directly or you can put alligator clips at the ends in order to easily change out and use different 12 volt equipment.

I would have to agree with the other answer and would not use a different wire unless you know for certain it is compatible. The best way is to check corsair website and see if they have the compatible wire.

You will need a copper buss bar and some mc4 connectors. Run the positive wires in 10 gauge wire from the panels to the copper buss bar then a 8 gauge stranded copper wire from the buss bar to the charge controller. You can get a mc4 tee connector to tie the negative wires together and run one wire to the location of the charge controller. Do not do this for the positive wires from the panels to the controller, that's what I Sid first and found out a couple weeks later I was only getting power from one panel.

Just two short DC wires; positive and negative. I used crimp connectors, no soldering.

This is a TFX type supply which is a standard form factor for desktop computers. Check the one that comes out of your Optiplex to see if it's TFX as well. If it is, the only question that remains is whether the wires are long enough to reach peripherals etc.

I'm sorry I'm not sure. If you could explain the wire better I can tell you if it's compatible.

All it comes with is about a foot of your positive and negative wire. You have to add on to it
