D-shaped Connectors - Centronics

Centronics is a widely used type of D-shaped connector. It is most often seen on computers and other consumer electronics and is used to connect a peripheral device to a computer, such as a printer or scanner. It typically consists of pins arranged into a V-shape, with one side being a vertical row of pins and the other side being a horizontal row of pins.

10250-1210VE Application Field and Working Principle

The 10250-1210VE is a Centronics connector most commonly found on printers or scanners. It is a 50-pin connector containing an array of cylindrical pins along both of its sides, arranged into two rows of 25 each. When connected, the pins form a V‑shape, hence the name. In terms of functionality, the 10250-1210VE is most commonly used as an interface for connecting a PC to a printer, scanner, or other peripheral device. It provides eight bits of parallel data to the peripheral device, and can be set to run at two different data transmission speeds — 250 Kb/s and 12 Mbits/sec. It also supports both unidirectional and bidirectional data transmission.

The 10250-1210VE provides seven different types of signals: two control, two data, two strobe, and one ground. The control signals are used for controlling the printers while data signals are used for transferring data between the printer and the PC. Strobe signals synchronize the data transfer between the two devices and the ground connections ensure a reliable connection between the device and the PC.

The 10250-1210VE provides users with a reliable and simple way of connecting a peripheral device to a computer. It is widely used in the consumer electronics industry and is often found on both traditional and modern printers and scanners. With its easy-to-use design and reliable connections, the 10250-1210VE has become a popular choice for connecting peripheral devices to PCs.
