From the ATX Specification, Version 2.2 Main power connector, female-ish - metal sleeves within plastic pins (PSU side): looking at the plug, facing the pins with tab side up, pins 1-12 go left to right on the bottom row, and 13-24 go left to right on the top row. (XXX - spec seems to say this is for the "board mounted connector" ie male; which is which?) The 20-pin variant just omits 11, 12, 23, 24. 1 +3.3V 13 +3.3V 2 +3.3V 14 -12V 3 COM 15 COM 4 +5V 16 PS_ON# 5 COM 17 COM 6 +5V 18 COM -+ 7 COM 19 COM -+ 8 PWR_ON 20 NC [formerly -5V?] 9 +5VSB 21 +5V 10 +12V1 22 +5V 11 +12V1 23 +5V 12 +3.3V 24 COM +12V power connector (CPU): 1-2 and 3-4 numbered in like manner. 1 COM 3 +12V -+ 2 COM 4 +12V -+ Peripheral power connector ("Molex"), female (PSU side): facing the plug with the side of the housing with truncated corners up, sleeves 1-4 go left to right. _ 1 +12VDC \ 2 COM | 3 COM | 4 +5VDC / Serial ATA (SATA) power connector: pins 1-15 count from the notched/keyed end. +-------+ | | +--+ | | 1 | +3.3V | 2 | +3.3V | 3 | +3.3V | 4 | COM | 5 | COM | 6 | COM | 7 | +5V | 8 | +5V | 9 | +5V | 10 | COM | 11 | COM | 12 | COM | 13 | +12V | 14 | +12V | 15 | +12V +----+ Voltage tolerances: +-5% for all positive rails and +-10% for all negative rails (per Table 6). Control signals: PS_ON# : active low, turns on the main power rails; when pulled high or left open, power rails should be held at ground. 5VSB : standby voltage present even when main rails are powered down (for soft power control / wake on LAN); recommended to support 2A. PWR_OK : asserted high by PSU when the +5 and +3.3 V outputs are above undervoltage thresholds and sufficient stored energy is available to continue operation within spec. Typical color code, though it doesn't seem to be stated in the spec: COM black 3.3V orange 5V red 12V yellow
