Introduction

D-Shaped Connectors, otherwise known as Centronics, are a type of computer connectors that provide data and power transmission between computers and peripherals. Centronics connectors were first developed by the company now known as Hewlett-Packard, in 1976, and since then have become ubiquitous in the computer industry. The most common Centronics connector is the 71661-2068, which is used for a number of applications and can be found on almost any type of computer or peripheral. In this article, we will look at the application field and working principle of the 71661-2068 Centronics connector.

Applications

The 71661-2068 Centronics connector is extremely versatile, and can be used in a variety of applications. It is most commonly used for connecting personal computers and external devices like printers, though it can also be used for connecting different components to a larger centralized system. Additionally, the connector can be used in networking applications to connect systems within a single building, or between multiple buildings.In terms of computer hardware, the 71661-2068 Centronics connector is commonly used for connecting peripherals like keyboards, mice, and other input devices. It is also often used to connect external storage devices such as hard drives and optical drives, as well as display monitors. The connector is also employed in the connection of external modems and other communication devices.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 71661-2068 Centronics connector is relatively simple. The connector has two parts—the male part, and the female part. The male part is a set of pins that are connected to each other by a central hub. The female part is a socket that accepts the male part. When the two parts are connected, the pins on the male part make contact with the socket, forming an electrical connection.When the two parts are connected, the pins on the male part send electric signals through the wires (or terminals) to the female part, which then transfers the signal to the device it is connected to. This wiring process is also called a “ground loop”, or “grounding between the two devices”.

Conclusion

The 71661-2068 is a versatile Centronics connector that can be used for a variety of applications, most commonly for connecting peripherals to computers or creating networks between multiple devices. Its working principle is relatively simple; a male part with pins connects to a female part with a socket, and the pins on the male part transfer electric signals through the wires to the device it is connected to. In conclusion, the 71661-2068 Centronics connector is a reliable and versatile connector that is used for a number of applications. Its working principle is easy to understand and can be employed for many different tasks.
