Key security switch help

[aries757]

so i am wanting to use this https://www.arrow.com/en/products/ckl13efw01/nkk-switches?gclid=CjwKEAjwrcC9BRC2v5rjyvSbhWASJACKkjDzNiARoMwfgEi0VpZAaCbxMYytcFRYeUJ2S_DoTXLWZBoCn6Dw_wcB , and use this http://www.frozencpu.com/products/8699/ele-375/Red_Illuminated_Vandal_Resistant_Latching_Switch_-_22mm_-_Black_Housing_-_Ring_Illumination.html?tl=g44c153 , now an staff member helped me a ton showing me in what line i will set it up, but what adapters/wires will i need to make these work, and i need to know all wires, and for those wondering, i want it to be able to turn they key, allowing the second button to turn on the pc, #pcdeskforlife2020

You will need a cable that goes from the IO connector on the mobo to the switch, any cable with some solder will work

this is the cable you need but without the button, you can just chop it off

As mentioned before you will want to wire the switch and key in series, for the connectors unless you have a crimper for dupont terminal that are used for front panel connectors you best bet may be to get some extensions and splice into those to wire up the switches. 

 

-Please refrain from making multiple posts on the same topic, this has been cover a few times already, keep to the original post-

understood, your initial comment did help, but i wanted someone elses feedback just in case something went wrong

Excuse the bad skills lol, 

 

your welcome

[Julian5]

Forgot to add you also need to connect the Button LED to the Power led connector on the mobo

yes this is correct, but how do i do this exactly, in the simplest way possible, this is my first build,  so i know about the base pc stuff, but not about this mod stuff

@W-L

you will notice that your buttons have some metal terminals underneath. here is a ruff method like I used to make in science class back in the day.

 

 

 

- Cut end button off the button cable ordered on amazon

- Strip the insolation on the 2 cables about 2 cm with a knife

- Start heatting up the soldering iron

- Wrap the positive side of the button to a terminal on the key switch

- Hold the soldering iron up to the terminal and hold the solder up to it too, the solder should melt and make a bond

- Take and extra piece of wire and strip its 2 sides, wrap 1 end around the other terminal of the key switch and repaeat the solering procces without shorting the cable wioth the other terminal

- Take the other side of the cable and solder/attach it to a terminal on the button (dont get confused with the LED power terminal)

- take the other side of the button cabel and solder it to the other terminal of the button (not the led power)

-Wrap all the connections in electrical tape

-Connect the power button connector to the motherboard and test

 

 

Message me once this is accomplished and I will guide you with the button led power procces,

 

Flux is optional and can help (substance placed on the metal connection to help it bond / stick better)

 

 

 

Welcome

Really? why if you know everyting about PC's? 

 

I think your trying to achieve something too complicated for your current knowledge, I suggest you stick with Tower PC's until you know how to wire up a button....

one last question, would this wire work also? https://www.amazon.com/Switch-Power-Style-Push-Button/dp/B000NWFEZQ/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1471911558&sr=1-3-fkmr1&keywords=pc+power+case+push+button+cable+5+inch i need it to be long enough.
