Abstract

A common lead device applied to SATA and periphery power connectors in a computer is described. The device integrates a plurality of power cords output from a power supply into common power cords, by which different voltages are provided.

Claims

1. A common lead device for SATA and periphery power connectors, said device collectively leading out a first, a second, a third, a fourth, and a fifth power cords (31, 32, 33, 34,35) output from a power supply, wherein the five power cords (31–

35) are all provided for a SATA power connector (2), and the four power cords (31–

34) except the fifth power cord (35) are coupled to a 4P power connector (1);

wherein a difference in sequence between partial power cords of the 4P power connector (1) and the SATA power connector (2) is modified for corresponding to each other by a conductive flake of the 4P power connector (1, 1′

) such that the 4P power connector (1) and the SATA power connector (2) are both led out by the five common power cords (31–

35), and provide voltages of +12V, +5V and +3.3V and two grounding connections.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the five power cords (31–

35) are further connected to a plurality of 4P power connectors (1′

) and a plurality of SATA power connectors (2′

).

3. The device of claim 1, wherein a difference in sequence between partial power cords of the 4P power connection (1) and the SATA power connector (2) is modified by a 4P power connector with an inner adapter (1A), and thereby the third power cord (33) for outputting +5V and the fourth power cord (34) for grounding cross each other inside the connector with the inner adapter (1A), so as to reverse a sequence of the third power cord (33) and the fourth power cord (34).

4. The device of claim 3, wherein a difference in sequence between partial power cords of the 4P power connector (1) and the SATA power connector (2) is modified by an outer adapter (4) composed of a socket (41) and a cap (42), and thereby the third power cord (33) for outputting +5V and the fourth power cord (34) for grounding cross each other outside, so as to change the different sequence.
