DC Connectors
Table 5-1: Main Power Connector Pin-Out shows pin outs and profiles for typical power supply DC harness connectors. The power supply requires an additional two-pin, power connector.
UL Listed or recognized component appliance wiring material rated min 85 °C, 300 VDC shall be used for all output wiring.
There are no specific requirements for output wire harness lengths, as these are largely a function of the intended end-use chassis, motherboard, and peripherals. Ideally, wires should be short to minimize electrical/airflow impedance and simplify manufacturing, yet they should be long enough to make all necessary connections without any wire tension (which can cause disconnections during shipping and handling). The recommended minimum harness lengths for general-use power supplies is 150 mm for all wire harnesses. Measurements are made from the exit port of the power supply case to the wire side of the first connector on the harness.
