D-Shaped Connectors - Centronics

D-Shaped Connectors are an extremely common type of connectors used in the computer hardware industry. They are commonly used for connecting peripheral devices such as printers, scanners, and external hard drives. The Centronics 552740-1 (also known as the Centronics 36 pin) is an extremely popular example of a D-shaped connector. It is characterized by a 36-pin male connector which is inserted into a 36-pin female connector port. The two connectors are typically joined by a flat ribbon cable.

Application Field

The Centronics 552740-1 connector is most commonly used for connecting computer printers. It enables communication between the printer and the computer, allowing for the printing of documents, photos, and other documents. The connector is also commonly used for connecting a computer to a scanner or external hard drive. It is also capable of connecting a telephone to a modem, and can sometimes be used for connecting a variety of additional devices to a computer.

Working Principle

The Centronics 552740-1 connector works by connecting two ports with two different pins in each port. The 36-pin male connector is inserted into the 36-pin female port, and the two connectors are joined by the flat ribbon cable. Each pin is then connected to an appropriate connection. This allows the printer to communicate with the computer, or any other device connected through the connector. The mechanism of communication between the two connected devices is known as the Parallel Printer Interface (PPI). This system enables the exchange of information between the two devices by sending electrical data in parallel between them. This allows for higher transfer rates than serial communication, as the various resistors and capacitors are not required.

Conclusion

The Centronics 552740-1 is one of the most popular forms of the D-shaped connector, and is used in a wide variety of applications. It is most commonly used to connect a computer to a printer or scanner, or to connect additional devices to a computer. It works by connecting two ports with a flat ribbon cable and 36 pins, enabling the transfer of electrical data in parallel between the two devices. This enables a higher speed data transfer than a serial interface, and is a popular choice for connecting various computer peripherals.
