552314-1

Introduction

The D-Shaped Connectors - Centronics 552314-1 is a male-female connector primarily used for computer peripherals. Commonly referred to as a "DSUB," or "D-Sub," this connector type is often used as a signal interface for parallel port, serial port, digital equipment, or computer peripherals. The 552314-1 includes a hood and rear removable connections with a sliding clip to secure the connectors firmly to each other.

Design and Construction

The 552314-1 features a three-dimensional design that consists of two core components: a hood and a rear connection. Each of these components are designed to fit and snap together when the connector is inserted. The hood and rear connection both have grooves to enable the sliding clip to be attached when the connectors are secured. It is important to note that the grooves on the hood and rear connection are specially designed so that the connectors do not eaily disconnect or come apart.

The hood and rear connection are made of plastic with gold plated pins and sockets. The pins are arranged in a 2x36 grid pattern that includes 1-64 contacts. The shells are designed to be strong and durable, making the 552314-1 resistant to corrosives and electrostatic discharge. The shell is also designed to protect the gold plated pins against oxidizing agents.

Application and Working Principle

The 552314-1 is typically used in digital peripherals, broadcast devices, and computer equipment. This type of connector is ideal for connecting devices to devices, computers, or other peripherals. Some common applications include connecting peripherals to a PC serial port, parallel port, joystick, or printers. The connector’s impressive contact density and quick-locking function makes it a preferred choice for applications that require secure, reliable connections.

The working principle of the 552314-1 is very straightforward. All that is required is for the two cores to be insert the two ends into the device slots in the correct orientation. Once inserted, the sliding clip then locks the connectors firmly, ensuring that the connection is secure and reliable. This ensures that data is transferred accurately between the two devices.

Conclusion

The D-Shaped Connectors - Centronics 552314-1 is an ideal solution for connecting digital devices, peripherals, and computer equipment. The connector’s durable construction and impressive contact density makes it a preferred choice for secure and reliable connections. The working principle of the 552314-1 is also very straightforward and involves inserting the two cores in the correct orientation, and using the sliding clip to lock them firmly together.
