ATX Power Supply Pinout Tables

Pinout tables for ATX v2.2 power supply connectors

24-pin Motherboard Power Connector Pinout

The ATX 24 pin main power connector is the


standard motherboard power connector used in nearly every computer. This is the large 24-
pin connector that usually attaches near the edge of the motherboard.

15-pin SATA Power Connector Pinout

The SATA 15-pin power supply connector is one of several standard peripheral
power connectors.SATA power connectors only connect to SATA drives like hard drives and
optical drives. They don't work with older PATA devices.

4-pin Peripheral Power Connector Pinout

The Molex 4-pin power supply connector is a standard peripheral power


connector.Molex power connectors connect to many different kinds of internal peripherals
including PATA hard drives and optical drives, some video cards, and even some other
devices.

4-pin Floppy Drive Power Connector Pinout

The floppy drive 4-pin power supply connector is the standard floppy drive power
connector.Also called a Berg connector or Mini-Molex connector, it's included in even the
newest power supplies even though floppy drives are becoming obsolete.
4 pin Motherboard Power Connector Pinout

The ATX 4-pin power supply connector is a standard motherboard


power connector used to provide +12 VDC to the processor voltage regulator.

This small connector usually attaches to the motherboard near the CPU.

6-pin Motherboard Power Connector Pinout

The ATX 6-pin power supply connector is a motherboard power


connector used to provide +12 VDC to the processor voltage regulator, but the 4-pin variety is
the more commonly used connector.This connector usually attaches to the motherboard near
the CPU.

SATA 15-Pin Power Connector Pinout

A pinout is a reference that describes the pins or contacts that connect an electrical device or
connector. Below is the pinout for the standard SATA 15-pin peripheral power connector as
of Version 2.2 of the ATX Specification. If you're using this pinout table to test power supply
voltages, be aware that the voltages must be within ATX-specified tolerances.

There are two less-common SATA power connectors: a 6-pin connector called a slimline
connector (supplies +5 VDC) and a 9-pin connector called a micro connector (supplies +3.3
VDC and +5 VDC). The pinout tables for those connectors differ from the one shown here.
