Connectors
Narrow devices (50-pin) use the following connectors:
•
50-pin low-density clip Centronics-type (external)
This is a large connector that is similar to a printer cable. This type of connector
is gradually being replaced by the Micro D connector, described below.
•
50-pin high density Micro D (using thumbscrews or small clips) (external)
•
This connector is similar to a D-type connector, but smaller and with smaller pin
holes placed closer together.
•
50-pin low-density ribbon (usually internal to the host)
Wide devices (68- pin) use the following connectors:
•
68-pin high density Micro D connector (external)
This connector is similar to a D-type connector, but longer and slimmer and with
smaller pin holes placed closer together. This connector is becoming the most
common.
•
68-pin high density ribbon (usually internal to the host)
