6 Pin Mother Power Connecter

Description

The ATX 6 pin power supply connector is a motherboard power connector used to provide +12 VDC to the processor voltage regulator.

This 6-pin connector is also sometimes used to provide extra power to high-end video cards.

On motherboards, the more common connector used for this purpose is the ATX 4 pin Power Connector, used either by itself or with a second 4-pin connector, creating an 8-pin connector.

The terms “PCI Express cables” or “PEG cables” (for PCI Express Graphics) are sometimes used to describe a 6 pin 12V power connector.
