A Motherboard (sometimes alternatively known as the mainboard, system board, planar board or logic board, or colloquially, a mobo) is the main printed circuit board (PCB) found in computers and other expandable systems. It holds and allows communication between many of the crucial electronic components. Here are complementary connectors of motherboards.

- PC Speaker connector
- RS232 serial motherboard header connector RS232 serial is also called COM port
- USB 2.0/1.1 Header
- USB 3.0 Header USB 3.0 is the successor of USB 2.0. USB 3 reduces the time required for data transmission, reduces power consumption, and is backward compatible with USB 2.0
- USB 3.0 Header to USB 2.0 Header USB 3.0 contains normal USB 2.0 connections. This is commonly for PC cases that have ports that don't match the Available headers. Converting from 3.0 -> 2.0 is flawless, but converting from 2.0 -> 3.0 will make your 3.0 ports active, but will only function at 2.0 speeds.
- USB header internal connector Used for card-edge bracket additinal USB ports and internal cardreaders. This is very old and does not match most modern mother board usb headers.
