10214-6212PL

D-shaped connectors, commonly referred to as centronics, are designed to connect and transfer data between two points. The most common type of d-shaped connector is the 10214-6212PL series, which is used for data and communication wires. This type of connector is composed of two basic pieces: a cover and a receptacle. The cover is inserted in the receptacle to create a secure connection. The receptacle can then connect to other types of devices such as computers, servers, networks, or other components.

Application Field

10214-6212PL connectors are typically used for a variety of computer and network-related applications. These include:

• Computer I/O ports and cables
• Data and communication wiring
• Network cabling
• Data centers and cloud computing
• Industrial automation
• Automotive and transportation systems

This type of connector can also be used for other applications such as medical, aerospace, and electrical systems.

Working Principle

10214-6212PL connectors are relatively simple to use. They consist of two parts: a cover and a receptacle. The cover is inserted into the receptacle and the two parts are held together via friction. The cover and receptacle are then connected to other components or devices, such as cables or other connectors, and the connection is formed.

This type of connector also uses a locking mechanism to ensure that the connection is secure. The locking mechanism works by using a spring-loaded latch that is inserted into a groove on the side of the cover. The latch is then released to keep the connection secure.

When using this type of connector, it is important to check the connections for any damage or dirt. This is to ensure the connection is secure and to prevent any data loss. In addition, it is also important to note that this type of connector is highly susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and should be installed in an EMI free environment if possible.
