Abstract
Auxiliary power connector PCBs are described. In one example, an auxiliary power connector is described. The auxiliary power connector includes a printed circuit board (PCB) and a PCI express graphics (PEG) connector mounted to the PCB, the PEG connector configured to connect to an auxiliary power source. The auxiliary power connector further includes a set of connectors provided on the PCB, the set of connectors configured to connect the PCB to a main PCB of a device.

An auxiliary power connector, comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB);
- a peripheral connect interface express graphics (PEG) connector mounted to the PCB, the PEG connector configured to connect to an auxiliary power source;
- and
- a set of connectors provided on the PCB, the set of connectors configured to connect the PCB to a main PCB of a device, wherein the set of connectors comprise a row of metal pins held in place by a bar mounted on a planar surface of the PCB, wherein the row of metal pins extend parallel to the planar surface of the PCB and extend past an edge of the PCB.
