552738-2

D-shaped connectors, also known as Centronics connectors, are a class of electrical plugs or connectors used to connect electronic devices. Developed in 1968 by IBM, they are also commonly known as printer cables. D-shaped connectors are widely used in a variety of applications, including communications equipment, computers, printers, and more.

The 552738-2 is a 50-pin D-shaped female connector, commonly used in networking and communication applications. The 552738-2 is a variant of the Centronics 50-pin connector, and features a two-piece plastic shell with increased security, as well as a flat 4-pin wedge latch for secure retention.

The 552738-2 connector is designed with a thimble for maximum effect on circuit board components and other relevant connections. It is designed for up to 15A and 250V applications. The electrical contact is made up of tin-plated copper alloy, and is available in various rated configurations.

The 552738-2 connector is used in both parallel and serial ports for connecting peripheral devices to electronic components or computers. These types of connections are commonly used for connecting equipment such as printers, scanners, and other external peripherals. It is also commonly used in network and other communications equipment such as routers, modems, and more.

The 552738-2 connector also has a wide range of applications in various industries. It is used in medical instruments, automotive, aerospace, military, instrumentation, and industrial control devices, among others. Other common applications include network cards, modems, and other external peripherals.

The 552738-2 connector works by connecting two electrical circuits in parallel, thereby allowing one device to communicate with another. By connecting two electrical circuits in parallel, current and information can flow between two circuits without using the same ground path. This allows devices on different grounds to communicate without interfering with each other.

All 552738-2 connectors come with two contacts, one for the receiving side and one for the sending side. When two devices are connected with a 552738-2 connector, the receiving side sends information and the sending side receives information. This ensures the effective transfer of data between devices, and provides a secure connection with low voltage drop.

The 552738-2 connector is available in both male and female configurations. It is also compatible with a range of other Centronics connector types, including the Centronics 50-pin connector family and the world-class SCSI family. The 552738-2 is an ideal choice for a variety of applications, as it provides reliable performance and an economical solution for data transfer applications.

The 552738-2 connector is an indispensable device in many electrical systems and can be used in a variety of different applications. Its two-piece construction and enhanced security make it a reliable connection choice for many types of applications. It also features a flat 4-pin wedge latch, thimble for maximum effects on circuit board components, and tin-plated copper alloy for improved thermal and electrical performance.
