What is SMPS and its types of power connector

1. TOPIC
SMPS
(SWITCH MODE POWER SUPPLY)

2. SMPS: means Switch Mode Power Supply, they
are Digital inNature.Theystep down voltage
by “switching” it on and off, hence their
name.
SMPS convertsAC VoltagetoDC voltage. All
the computer parts work on DC supply.SMPS
supplies DC voltage through connectors on
Motherboard and various other devices.

4. As you can see back side of SMPS. FAN is
used to dissipate/reduce the heat generated
in SMPS. In Fig , there are two AC power
sockets. One is for AC 220 V input to SMPS
and the other is for output AC 220 V to your
Monitor/LCD. In some SMPS there is only one
socket for AC 220 V input to SMPS . In this
case the monitor will take input supply
directly from other power source

5. AT POWER CONNECTOR
ATX POWER CONNECTOR
STANDARD PHERIPHERALS POWER
CONNECTOR
FLOPPY DRIVE POWER CONNECTOR

6. THIS TYPE OF POWER CONNECTOR HAVE 2
COONECTOR WHICH ONE IS P8 AND
ANOTHER ONE IS P9 USE IN OLD PC.

7. USES A SINGLE P1 POWER CONNECTOR
THE P1 HAS A NOTCHED CONNETOR TO
ENSURE PROPER INSTALLATION

8. PRIMARILY USED FOR DEVICES THAT REQUIRE
12V AND 5V OF POWER
A MOLEX CONNECTOR USES “CHAMFERS”
(NOTCHES) FOR EASY INSTALLATION
INSTALLING A MOLEX BACKWARDS CAN
DESTORY THE DEVICES INTO WHICH THE
MOLEX INTO CONNECTED.

9. PRIMARILY FOR 3.5-INCH FLOPPY DRIVES
CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN INSTALLING
MINI CONNECTORS (BERG CONNECTORS).

10. OCCASIONALLY, THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH
CONNECTORS TO POWER ALL THE DEVICES
INSIDE A PC
SPLITTERS ARE USED TO CREATE MORE
CONNECTIONS

11. MANY MOTHERBOARD REQUIRE A SECOND,
FOUR-WIRE CONNECTOR TO PUSH MORE 12 -
VOLT POWER INTO THE BOARD
