FX2C2-20S-1.27DSA(71)

D-Shaped Connectors - Centronics

Centronics is a term which is used to refer to an array of 36-pin connectors. These connectors first appeared in the 1970s with the first compatible printer, the Centronics printer. FC2C2-20S-1.27DSA(71) is one such connector which belongs to this category.

Application Field and Working Principle

FC2C2-20S-1.27DSA(71) can be used in various applications that require a high-speed data transfer interface. Most commonly, it is used as a practical interface for connecting computers, printers, and other peripheral devices. The connector pin configuration includes 24 contacts, which are further arranged into two separate banks of 12 contacts. This allows for high speed data transfer between the devices requiring data exchange. Each contact of the connector is plated with gold for precision connections. Furthermore, the connectors are high-temperature resistant and are capable of operating in temperatures up to 125 degrees Celsius.

The FC2C2-20S-1.27DSA(71) is also capable of providing power up to 5A on any of the 24 available contacts. The maximum voltage rating is up to 30V. The connector features a friction lock which is activated once the connector is inserted into the mating connector. This ensures secure connections and reduces the chances of accidental disconnection. The connectors have also been designed to stand up to harsh environment conditions, such as high-pressure and vibration.

The FC2C2-20S-1.27DSA(71) connector is capable of providing up to 20 Mb/s of data transfer rate. The connectors are available in both a 3.0 mm and a 4.0 mm pitch, meaning they can be used with different devices without having to change the wiring harness.

To sum up, the FC2C2-20S-1.27DSA(71) is a versatile and durable connector that is ideal for use in a variety of applications. Its superior pin contact design provides a high data transfer rate and its friction lock ensures secure connections. Furthermore, its gold-plated contacts help to ensure precision connections and its high-temperature resistant design makes it a great choice for applications in harsh environment conditions.
