And two clamp-type ammeters 60.
該轉接板20包括一第一介面22、一第二介面26、一匯流排28及兩個連接器J1、J2。該兩連接器J1、J2均包括三個可透過跳帽或線纜連接的針腳1-3。該第一介面22與該硬碟機10的介面相連,該第二介面26與該測試設備30的相應介面相連。該連接器J1的針腳1與該第二介面26的5V電源引腳相連,該連接器J1的針腳2接地,該連接器J1的針腳3與該第二介面26的12V電源引腳相連。該連接器J2的針腳1與該第一介面22的5V電源引腳相連,該連接器J2的針腳2接地,該連接器J2的針腳3透過與該第一介面22的12V電源引腳相連。該第一介面22的訊號引腳透過該匯流排28與該第二介面26的訊號引腳對應相連。The adapter plate 20 includes a first interface 22, a second interface 26, a bus bar 28 and two connectors J1, J2. The two connectors J1, J2 each include three pins 1-3 that are connectable through a jumper cap or cable. The first interface 22 is connected to the interface of the hard disk drive 10, and the second interface 26 is connected to the corresponding interface of the test device 30. The pin 1 of the connector J1 is connected to the 5V power pin of the second interface 26, the pin 2 of the connector J1 is grounded, and the pin 3 of the connector J1 is connected to the 12V power pin of the second interface 26.
