1. How do D-Shaped Connectors differ from Centronics Connectors?
D-Shaped Connectors are a broad category, and Centronics Connectors fall into this category, specifically for parallel communications, especially data transmission between printers and computers.
-
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. 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.
-
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.
