ATX 20-Pin Power Supply Connector

This is the standard 20-pin ATX power connector used by many systems. It supplies all core system voltages including +3.3V, +5V, +12V, and -12V, along with necessary control signals such as PWR_OK and PS_ON. It is available on typical ATX power supplies from the late 1990s to early 2000s.

Pinout:

Pin Signal Description
1 +3.3V +3.3 VDC
2 +3.3V +3.3 VDC
3 GND Chassis ground
4 +5V +5 VDC
5 GND Chassis ground
6 +5V +5 VDC
7 GND Chassis ground
8 PWR_OK Power good
9 +5VSB +5V standby
10 +12V +12 VDC
11 +3.3V +3.3 VDC
12 -12V -12 VDC
13 GND Chassis ground
14 PS_ON Power supply on
15 GND Chassis ground
16 GND Chassis ground
17 GND Chassis ground
18 -5V -5 VDC (legacy)
19 +5V +5 VDC
20 +5V +5 VDC

Notes:

  • +5VSB (Pin 9) provides standby voltage used by power management features.
  • PS_ON (Pin 14) is a control line used to turn on the PSU via motherboard logic.
  • PWR_OK (Pin 8) signals when power is stable and within spec.
  • -5V (Pin 18) is used for ISA bus compatibility and is typically unused in modern systems.
