AT, ATX, BTX SMPS Connectors, voltages and functions 

There are three types of SMPSs. They are AT, ATX, BTX. These three types of SMPSs have different connectors and each wire has different voltages. Here the connectors and its voltages.


AT SMPSs have 12 pin power connector, ATX SMPSs have 20 pin power connector and BTX SMPSs have 24 and 28 pin power connectors. AT power supplies were used in 80’s and from 1996 we use ATX power supplies.  Here are the AT, ATX and BTX SMPSs voltages and users.
