Centronics connectors are connectors developed by the company Centronics, which were used for connecting computer printers to storage devices. These connectors are D-shaped connectors that are often used not only for printers but also in some modern computer peripherals such as external hard drives and other similar devices. One such connector is the FX2CA1-40P-1.27DSAL (71), which is the focus of this article.

Application field

The FX2CA1-40P-1.27DSAL (71) is primarily used in connecting computer peripherals that utilize the Centronics interface. It is mainly used as a connector between a standard parallel port and the connector of a computer peripheral device. It is often used to connect printers, scanners, and other external storage drives to the computer.

The D-shaped plug of the FX2CA1-40P-1.27DSAL (71) can also be used in some data communication. It can be used to connect a Modem to the computer for data transmission. These connectors are also often seen in cashier machines, where they are used for connecting barcode readers, card readers, and other peripherals.

The FX2CA1-40P-1.27DSAL (71) can also be used in some industrial measurements and monitoring applications, where they can be used to connect sensors and other electric and electronic components to the main system.

Working principle

The FX2CA1-40P-1.27DSAL (71) works like any other D-shaped connectors: It has a male and a female part connected by a pin connection. The connector also has several pins that are used to carry electric signals from one device to the other.

In order to create a connection between two devices with the FX2CA1-40P-1.27DSAL (71) , the male and female part must be securely connected. Once the connection is established, the device can send and receive signals through the pins of the connector.

In data communication applications, the pins of the FX2CA1-40P-1.27DSAL (71) are used to transmit and receive data. This is done by sending and receiving electrical signals to and from the pins. In industrial applications, the same principles apply, with the difference that the pins are used to measure and monitor different variables.

Conclusion

The FX2CA1-40P-1.27DSAL (71) is a D-shaped connector belonging to the Centronics series. It is primarily used as a connector between a standard parallel port and a computer peripheral device such as printers, scanners, or external hard drives. It can also be used in some data communication and industrial applications.

The connector has a male and a female part connected by a pin connection. Once the connection is established, signals can be transmitted and received through these pins in order to communicate with the connected devices.
