ATX Power Supply Pinout

ATX power supply pinout is the configuration of the connector pin ATX power supply that is used on a computer mainboard. Each pin associated with the color of the cable used to represent their respective functions. Each serves as a contact with three voltage polarity, ie positive, negative, earth, the configuration data.

In general, the ATX power supply pinout is connected to the voltage +3.3 V, +5 V,-5V, +12 V,-12V and 0V (Ground). Connected with the data is a function OK and Power Supply Power ON. Power OK is a status signal generated by the power supply to notify the computer. That the DC operating voltages are within the ranges required for proper computer operation (+5 VDC power is Ok). Power Supply On (active low). Short this pin to GND to switch power supply ON, disconnect from GND to switch OFF. And -5 VDC (this is optional on newer ATX version 2.0 supplies. It is for use with older AT class expansion cards and can be omitted on newer units).
