D-Shaped Connectors - Centronics

D-shaped connectors, also known as circular connectors, are connectors consisting of two housings with internal contacts in the form of a "D" shape. The housings are secured to the mating part by screws, and the contacts are made using spring-loaded pins. They are commonly used in personal and business computing applications, as well as for industrial automation.

The 71661-2060 is a D-shaped connector, manufactured by Centronics. It is a contact-free design, with a rated current of 3 amps. The 71661-2060 has a plastic shell and comes with a secure locking mechanism. The connector is UL approved, and can be used both indoors and outdoors. It is also available in a variety of colors.

The 71661-2060 is widely used in a range of applications, including video and audio projector connections, signal, data and control networks, as well as high-speed data transmission. It is also used in applications where space is tight, as it is compact yet still provides reliable and robust performance.

The working principle of the 71661-2060 is fairly straightforward. The connection is made when a pin on the mating part is pressed against a contact on the connector. The connector then applies pressure to the contact, pressing it into a spring-loaded pin. When the pin is released, the spring pushes the contact back out, and the connection is broken.

The 71661-2060 is a great choice for applications wherever a reliable and robust connection is necessary. It is also resistant to electrical noise and can provide secure connections in even the most demanding environments. With its reliable performance and ease of installation, the 71661-2060 is a great choice for a variety of applications.
