-
2. How many sizes are Centronics Connectors available?
The most common models of Centronics Connectors include 36-pin (the most common parallel printer interface) and 25-pin interfaces. There are also different sizes and pin counts for other devices.
-
3. How do Centronics Connectors work?
Centronics connectors transmit parallel signals through multiple pins, with each pin corresponding to a data bit, control signal, or ground line. They are usually used in applications with higher data transfer rates.
-
4. How to identify the model of Centronics connector?
Centronics connectors can usually be identified by the number of pins (such as 36 pins, 25 pins, etc.) and the shape of the shell. The shell of the connector is usually metal and has a D-shaped appearance.
