Ribbon Type Micro Connector

Ribbon type micro-connector is a common type of electrical connector , mainly used in computer and telecommunication areas.

Often referred to as Centronics due to the extensive use of the Centronics parallel interface . Also known as Amphenol , Delta ribbon , CHAMP and a 25-pair connector.

Despite being developed by Amphenol , many companies still produce products using this technology, such as Telco , AMP Inc. and Hirose Electric Group .

Description

The tape-type micro-connector contains two parallel rows of contacts in a shielded case. There are 14-, 24-, 36-, 50- and 64-pin options for connecting boards , extension cords or termination cables . The connector is made by soldering , crimping or insulation and so on. Connectors of the "mother" type have special holes and jumpers to increase the reliability of the connection with the connector of the "male" type. In the telecommunications field, screw-shaped connectors are used instead, since losing a connector can cause more damage.

Application

24-pin connector: IEEE 488 interface ( GPIB );
36-pin female cable connector: IEEE 1284-B interface (Centronics);
50-pin female connector on the board: SCSI-1 interface;
50 pin connector: RJ21 telephone connector .
