Introduction

The 553600-1 is a rectangular-shaped parallel communication connector with 8 pins and is commonly referred to as a D-shaped connector. Developed by the arm of Xerox Corporation – Centronics, this connector is primarily known for its use in computer-to-printer communication. The connector is also widely adopted in CBM Joystick interfaces. The design consists of two mating halves. One half, known as the male plug, contains an array of metal pins arranged in two rows. The other end, known as the female receptacle, contains 8 circular sockets, also arranged in two rows. The primary purpose of the 553600-1 connector is for the creation of a parallel data transmission system in computing devices.

Application fields

The application fields for the use of the 553600-1 Centronics connector are vast. It is mainly used to connect modems, printers, fax machines and scanners to computers. It is also common to see this connector in digital music players, as well as joysticks for gaming consoles. It is also widely used for printers, specifically those that use a serial port connection. Other peripherals that utilize the Centronics connector include network switches and routers, scanners, and storage devices. Additionally, the Centronics connector is often found in automotive diagnostic systems, such as engine control units.

Working Principle

The 553600-1 Centronics connector utilizes parallel communication in order to send data from a sending device to a receiving device. This form of data transfer involves the simultaneous transmission of multiple bits of data over 8 pins. In addition to parallel communication, this connector also utilizes the RS-232 serial communication protocol to communicate. This communication protocol involves the transmission of a single bit of data over one line. The operation of thedata transfer is as follows: firstly, the 8 pins that the connector isequipped with connect the sending and receiving devices. Then, the sender sends a bit of data over thefirst pin, followed by the second, third and so on. The sameprocess is completed by the receiver. Upon thesuccessful transmission of all 8 bits, the data is thensent back to the sender.

Conclusion

The 553600-1 D-shaped connector is a versatile and popular type of connector that is often used for the creation of a parallel data transmission system. Developed by Centronics, this connector is primarily used for the transmission of data between computers and other peripheral devices, such as printers, scanners, and digital music players. This connector utilizes both parallel and serial communication in order to transfer data between senders and receivers. The receiver will then send back the data that was received. The 553600-1 D-shaped connector is a reliable and efficient form of data connection that can be utilized in various scenarios.
