I am still trying to find an industry standard for connectors and leads on modular computer power supplies (internal type) - and I doubt there would ever be an industry standard, because it is apparently specific to a manufacturer and/or series.

My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics. -
Re: Standardization for modular internal computer power supplies
Each manufacturer tends to standardize their own cables to a single format.
In the past it was no possible because everyone had to work around patents related to modular cables (I think Ultra had some patent on modular cable)
http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=w0ehAAAAEBAJ
http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=iOGqAAAAEBAJ
So they had to carefully make the modular connectors around what the patents claimed.
I'm not exactly sure but I think the Ultra patent was invalidated... but I may be confusing the patent with the one for 140 mm fans.. there was one for this stupidity, and because of this a lot of manufacturers advertised 139.5mm fans on the packaging.
