36 pin Centronic Solder Pin Connector Hard Type Male Connector with 90° Plastic Cover

36 Pin Centronic Solder Pin Connector Hard Type Male Connector with 90° Plastic Cover

This type of connector got its name from the Centronics Corporation, a manufacturer based in Nashua, New Hampshire. Back in the 1970's, Centronics made printers for use with computers. As computers and attached printers became more popular, the connector that they used became the de facto industry standard. The Centronics Corporation was purchased by Genicom (now TallyGenicom) in the 1980's, but their name lives on in this connector.

The Centronics connector has a plastic bar in the center of the connector body that holds the contact pins. The body of the connector is often black or blue in color. The Centronics 36-pin connector is arranged in two rows of pins, each with 18 contacts. The connector is held in place by bail locks. The 36-pin connector is often used for parallel applications, especially for printers. It is also referred to as an IEEE-1284 Type B connector.
