2. Power supply unit (computer) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply_unit_(computer)

   A power supply unit (PSU) converts mains AC to low-voltage regulated DC power for the internal components of a desktop computer. Modern personal computers universally use switched-mode power supplies. Some power supplies have a manual switch for selecting input voltage, while others automatically adapt to the main voltage.

3. ATX - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATX

   ATX. An ATX motherboard. Comparison of some common motherboard form factors (pen for scale) ATX (Advanced Technology Extended) is a motherboard and power supply configuration specification, patented by David Dent in 1995 at Intel, [1] to improve on previous de facto standards like the AT design. It was the first major change in desktop computer ...

4. Motherboard form factor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motherboard_form_factor

   MicroBTX (also called uBTX) is a computer motherboard form factor. A microBTX is 10.4 × 10.5 in (264 × 267 mm) and can support up to four expansion slots. DTX backward compatible with ATX cases. Shorter variant, Mini-DTX (mDTX) of 8 × 6.7 inches (203 × 170 mm) Used in embedded systems and single-board computers.

5. Form factor (design) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_factor_(design)

   Form factor is a hardware design aspect that defines and prescribes the size, shape, and other physical specifications of components, particularly in electronics. [1][2] A form factor may represent a broad class of similarly sized components, or it may prescribe a specific standard. It may also define an entire system, as in a computer form factor.

6. DC connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_connector

   DC connector. A DC connector (or DC plug, for one common type) is an electrical connector that supplies direct current (DC) power. Compared to domestic AC power plugs and sockets, DC connectors have many more standard types that are not interchangeable. The dimensions and arrangement of DC connectors can be chosen to prevent accidental ...

7. Power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply

   A modern computer power supply is a switch-mode power supply that converts AC power from the mains supply, to several DC voltages. Switch-mode supplies replaced linear supplies due to cost, weight, efficiency and size improvements. The diverse collection of output voltages also have widely varying current draw requirements.
