A power connector is an electrical connector designed to carry a significant amount of electrical power, usually as DC or low-frequency AC. Some types of RF connector may also carry large amounts of power, but are considered as a separate category. Connectors carrying small amounts of power are known as signal connectors.
Types
AC power plugs:
Mains power plugs, principally used for connecting equipment to wall outlets. See that article for information about mains electricity plugs around the world as well as information for travellers.
four pin hard diskA hard disk (or hard disc or hard drive ) is a computer storage device. Mechanics A hard disk uses rigid rotating platters. It stores and retrieves digital data from a planar magnetic surface. Information is written to the disk by transmitting an electrom drive (HDD) connectors, also used for powering CD-ROMThe CD-ROM (an abbreviation for " Compact Disc Read-Only Memory" ( ROM) ) is a non-volatile optical data storage medium using the same physical format as audio compact discs, readable by a computer with a CD-ROM drive. A CD-ROM is a flat, plastic disc wit drives, burners etc
smaller four pin floppy diskA floppy disk is a data storage device that comprises a circular piece of thin, flexible (hence "floppy") magnetic storage medium encased in a square or rectangular plastic wallet. Floppy disks are read and written by a floppy disk drive or FDD not to be drive (FDD) connectors, also used by some hard drives, and carrying the same power supplies as the HDD connectors
ATThe IBM PC/AT was IBM's third-generation personal computer, designed around the Intel 80286 microprocessor and released in 1984. Because the AT used various technologies that were rare at the time in personal computers, the name AT originally stood for ad motherboard connectors consisting of two in-line connectors
ATXAT motherboards. The ATX form factor was created by Intel in 1995. It was the first big change in computer case and motherboard design in many years. ATX overtook AT completely as the default form factor for new systems. Some related designs include mini- motherboard connectors which have now obsoleted the older AT-style connectors
serial ATAIn computer hardware Serial ATA (also SATA or S-ATA is a computer bus primarily designed for transfer of data to and from a hard disk. It is the successor to the legacy Advanced Technology Attachment (ATA a. IDE) standard, now known as Parallel ATA''. (SATA) power connectors
