The 5175887-5 D-shaped Connector, or Centronics Connector, is a type of male-female, cable-to-board electrical connector primarily used in computers and electronics. It is a reliably effective, simple and cost-efficient way to interface between two electronic devices, and is universally accepted and used in the printing, networking, and telecommunications industries.

As the name implies, the connector itself is will resemble a ‘D’ in shape, and typically features 25 O-ring contacts, with two rows of thirteen contacts laid out in two insulating shells. It is the perfect companion for a variety of parallel cables, and is also found in some stages of video game software development. The already low contact force of the D-shaped connector makes it ideal for easily connecting, cleaning/polishing, and disconnecting a range of computer and printer cables.

The most basic and commonly found use of the 5175887-5 D-shaped Connector is in Centronics Parallel Interface Cables, which are used to connect cables between printers and computers. It is also used in FireWire, Ethernet, USB and other connections. Additionally, it is commonly used in devices such as digital cameras, camcorders, and data collection systems.

The working principle of the 5175887-5 D-shaped Connector relies on spring-claw technology – when two connections are made with such a connector, the spring arms and O-ring contacts provide and maintain the electrical connection between the two electrons. The O-rings provide mechanical force to the connection, while the spring arms maintain the electrical connection when the springs are compressed. This ensures a reliable contact between devices and a system can be robustly protected against any eventualities.

The ease of installation and usage of the 5175887-5 D-shaped Connectors make them a popular, cost-effective option for many applications. They offer excellent reliability and durability, and are typically only employed in lower-current applications such as connecting low-power serial and parallel printers.
