10268-6202PL

The 10268-6202PL is a type of D-Shaped Connector, specifically a Centronics Connector. It is a long established type of connector which is commonly used for digital data, like parallel printer connections and older hard drive cases and cables. In most cases, the 10268-6202PL is used as a male connector in conjunction with a female version such as the 10267-6102PL or similar.

The 10268-6202PL is an 8-pin connector featuring two mounting holes on opposite sides. The contacts on the connector are stamped with a gold flash to ensure maximum electrical contact on mating. The pins are arranged in a row and are staggered in an alternating male/female pattern for easy mating.

The application of the 10268-6202PL is most commonly found in single-ended applications such as printer connections in PC systems. It is also similar to a variety of 8-pin D-Shaped connectors such as the Molex Mini-Fit Jr. or Tyco/AMP. The 10268-6202PL is also suitable for use in applications such as digital electronics, audio/video equipment, and a variety of other legacy computing applications.

The 10268-6202PL\'s working principle is based on the alternating male/female pattern of its contacts. This ensures a solid connection between the connector and its mating. The male part of the contacts has a pronounced spring action which holds itself tightly against the female part. This ensures the best possible connection and prevents any possible fluctuations due to vibration or movement.

In summary, the 10268-6202PL is a type of D-Shaped Connector which is specifically a Centronics Connector. It is most commonly used as a male connector in conjunction with a female version. The application of the 10268-6202PL is most commonly found in single-ended applications such as printer connections in PC systems as well as for a variety of 8-pin D-Shaped connectors. The working principle of the10268-6202PL is based on the alternating male/female pattern of its contacts which ensures a solid connection between the connector and its mating.
