Mini-Centronics 36-pin male connector (top) with Micro ribbon 36-pin male Centronics connector (bottom) The Apple II Parallel Printer Port connected to the printer via a folded ribbon cable; one end connected to the connector at the top of the card, and the other end had a 36-pin Centronics connector. In computing, a parallel port is a type of ...
An IEEE 1284 36-pin male micro ribbon printer cable connection. The computer side normally uses a DB-25 port instead of this connector. IEEE 1284, also known as the Centronics port, is a standard that defines bi-directional parallel communications between computers and other devices.
This connector is similar to the 36-pin connector used by Centronics for the parallel interface on their printers, thus the connector became popularly known as "Centronics SCSI" or "CN-50". It is also referred to as a "SCSI-1 connector"; since many connectors have been used for SCSI-1, this can be confusing.
This size, with 36 pins and bail locks, is also known as a Centronics connector because of its introduction by Centronics for use with the parallel port of printers, and is standardized as IEEE 1284 type B. Other connectors of this size are also called Centronics connectors. The smaller size has 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch.
