10250-62M2-PL Connectors, Interconnects

Centronics is a type of D-shaped connector, first developed in 1976 by Centronics Corporation. These connectors are used to connect various data cables, providing a shielded connection to transfer digital or analog signals. The 10250-62M2-PL is a Centronics connector, commonly used in many different applications.

Application Field

The 10250-62M2-PL is used in many different applications, ranging from automation control to networking and telecommunications. It is mainly used for medium density applications, such as existing backplanes and active interfaces. This connector is also used for connecting external peripheral devices in applications such as medical imaging and industrial control. Additionally, it is used for power and signal connections in high-density applications, such as disk drives, cell phones, and tablets.

Working Principle

The 10250-62M2-PL utilizes an IDC-type (insulation displacement connector) connection. Two D-shaped metal contacts, designated as “male” and “female” connectors, are used to connect data cables. The difference between these two connectors is that the female connector has slightly larger contacts to facilitate a better electrical connection. The contacts on both connectors are designed with a sharp angle, allowing for a more secure connection that ensures reliable signal transmission. The metal contacts are inserted into an insulated jacket, which prevents the electrical connection from shorting out and guarantees efficient signal transfer.

The 10250-62M2-PL uses a latching mechanism to securely lock the connectors together, preventing any undue strain from various movements. This makes the connectors easily removable for maintenance purposes. Additionally, the 10250-62M2-PL comes with a strain relief to keep the cable in place and protect it from any unnecessary damage. This strain relief is designed for use in any environment, whether it be extreme cold or high humidity.

The 10250-62M2-PL is generally considered to be a reliable and efficient data connector. With its latching mechanism, strain relief, and insulation displacement contacts, it can be used in a variety of applications. The connectors are not expensive and can be easily obtained from many online and offline retailers.
