My western digital my passport external hard disk (2,5", SATA disk, usb interface, last model)
stop to work last week (it looks like it has not enough current to start and in fact it's not detected by any OS on different machines).
In order to rescue my data, I've opened the case, expecting a standard sata port to connect with, but I didn't found it. Besides the usb connection it has only a 12 pin connection (looks like an IDE connection with 12 pin only) and other two isolated pins.
Does anybody know which connections are these?

Thank you greatly in advance

Sometimes they combine power and data over one plug using an adaptor. You should be able to pull this adaptor off the hard drive, and place it in a new caddy.

It's not difficult you just put it normally. Because this SATA is modern that have to in put :
1 is SATA input
2 is IDE input   y b b r

you should know that Y+B=+12v,RED+BLACK=+5V
