This model clearly makes a much better search engine than google/kagi/bing/etc.

I've been searching for an obscure connector -- the 8-pin connector you'd find on the cable that delivers power to a GPU, but in a form that can be wave-soldered. I've spent hours searching all the big electronics distributors -- no luck. This thing found it in seconds.

This is a very common connector but in a highly unusual form-factor. Molex refuses to make wave-solderable versions of it.

Edit: the first link does not lead directly to the obscure connector, but to the website of a company that does sell it. Here is the obscure connector: https://www.moddiy.com/products/Special-Mini-Low-Profile-ATX... Maybe it just got lucky.

On the other hand, it hallucinated the crap out of a very straightforward question "how do i connect the wake# pins when bifurcating a pcie port?" -- the answer is that it's an open-drain pin so (unlike the clock pins which need a buffer chip) you just wire them both together:

Then it tried to write a bunch of code for an obviously-not-coding question. Not so great.

The first reference returned was a plug intended to be used with wire connections. Not wave solderable at all. The other two returned were to a site search that returned nothing relevant and a large section of a manufacturers web site respectively.

Correction, the first link was to a vendor who does in fact sell the obscure connector:

I'm just elated I finally found out where to buy these damn things from.
