1. What is a Centronics Connector?
A Centronics Connector is a standard D-shaped connector that was originally used for parallel interfaces between computer printers and host computers. It usually has multiple pins for high-speed data transmission.
-
2. 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.
-
3. 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.
-
4. 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.
