Do all PSU use the same connectors?

Hello i just had this random question. Do all PSU (atx, btx, micro btx and micro atx) use the same connector like could they all work with any motherboard (assuming they fit the case)?

Answer:

No. Some have a 20 pin motherboard connector, while others have a 24 pin connector. Then, there is the matter of whether or not you need the 4 pin 12V connector for the CPU, whether or not you need SATA connectors for the hard drive and optical drives instead of standard 4 pin molex connectors. You really need to know what you need.
