D-Shaped Connectors - Centronics

A 57T-12500-400 Centronics connector is a type of D-shaped connector often used in the computer world. It was initially developed by ITT Cannon and later adopted by the telecommunications industry as a standard connection type. It is often used to connect the commercial and residential computer systems to printers, scanners, and other peripheral devices.

The Centronics connector is composed of a male connector with 50 pins in a 2-row arrangement and a female connector with 50 pins in the same 2-row arrangement. The pins on the male connector are spaced 1.00 mm apart while the pins on the female connector are spaced 0.50 mm apart. The pins are arranged in alternating orientation so that when the male and female connectors are mated, the pins are perfectly aligned and electrical connection is made. This keeps the connection secure and reliable.

The 57T-12500-400 Centronics connector is primarily used for parallel I/O applications. Parallel I/O is where two or more devices are connected together, usually via a cable, for the purpose of transferring data from one device to another. Examples of parallel I/O applications include connecting a computer to a printer, connecting two computers, and connecting a computer to a scanner. The 57T-12500-400 connector is also used when connecting components in a network, such as when linking two computers in a LAN.

The working principle of a Centronics connector is fairly simple. When two compatible connectors are mated, the pins make contact at both ends. This creates a physical connection between the two devices, allowing them to communicate with each other. The pins then create a circuit between the two devices, allowing data to be transferred between them. The physical connection and the circuit remain until the two connectors are separated, at which point the physical connection and the circuit break and data transfer is prevented.

The 57T-12500-400 Centronics connector is an ideal solution for applications that require the connection of multiple devices. This type of connector is designed to offer reliable and secure connections with a high degree of compatibility. Its simplicity and standardization make it a popular choice for many applications and its wide range of applications make it a great choice for almost any application where external device connection is required.
