What you will probably melt is the two pins in the molex and the HD or whatever you ran 120ACV into. And who knows what else will be damaged. Good luck trying to RMA a piece of hardware fried like that. Still best to use unique connectors. Radio Shack or any electrical house has dozens to choose from.
