This ATX Power supply breakout board enables users to use an ATX power unit as a benchtop power supply. The project can be very useful to power physical computing, embedded, microcontroller projects, etc. The board provides 4 different voltages 3.3V, 5V, 12V, -12V, and a slide switch is provided for output ON/OFF. All lines have LEDs. Basically, the project splits 20 or 24-pin ATX power supply connector into 4 different power lines. All outputs are accessible through banana connectors.

Note: The board can also be connected to a very old type of ATX SMPS with -5V output, in this case, use Jumper J1 to select the -5V and CN4 banana connector to provide -5V output. Otherwise, connect the Jumper J1 to GND and CN4 is available as GND output.

What do you do about the load minimum requirements for the power supply to stay on. If no load it will shut down so isn’t their a load resistor either on the 5 or the 12 volt rail?

Hi. Could you tell me J2 what function does it have? Thanks
