-
2. What are the advantages of D-shaped connectors?
D-shaped connectors provide a rugged mechanical structure that can withstand vibration and physical shock. Its D-shaped shell design allows the plug and socket to fit tightly, reducing the risk of poor contact.
-
3. 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.
-
4. Can Centronics connectors be used compatible with other types of D-shaped connectors?
Although the Centronics connector is a type of D-shaped connector, it is not fully compatible with other D-shaped connectors such as DB9, DB25, etc. Different connectors have different pin configurations and signal functions, so they are not directly interchangeable.
