SCSI Connector Overview: A Standard Interface for High-Speed Data Transfer

SCSI connectors are a type of electronic connectors that are used to connect computer parts that use a system called SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) to communicate with each other. SCSI is a bus technology, which means that all devices connect to a central bus and are “daisy-chained” together. The SCSI bus is controlled by a host controller which will typically be built into the motherboard, or it can be from a separate expansion card.

There are different types of SCSI connectors, such as D-SUB, Centronics, VHDCI, etc. They also have different materials, such as steel, brass, stainless steel, aluminum, plastic, composite, etc. Each type and material has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on the specific requirements of the application.

Some of the features and benefits of SCSI connectors are:

Performance: They can withstand high temperature, high vibration, shock, corrosion, and other environmental factors that may affect the electrical connection.
Flexibility: They offer a wide range of contact sizes, wire gauges, current ratings, coupling mechanisms, and shell options to suit different needs and preferences.
Reliability: They are built to meet international standards and specifications for electrical performance and quality. Some of them are qualified to the MIL-DTL-24308 specification for military use.
Protection: They can provide protection against EMI/RFI interference, fire hazards, gas leakage, water ingress, and other potential risks.

Some of the examples of SCSI connectors from KinKuo are:

D-SUB SCSI Connector: This is a type of SCSI connector that has a D-shaped metal shell and multiple pins for signal or power transmission. It is also known as a sub connector or a DB connector. It is suitable for applications that require high-density connections and reliable performance. KinKuo offers various types of D-SUB SCSI connectors, such as right-angle type, straight type, male type, female type, etc. They also have different pin numbers, such as 9-pin, 15-pin, 25-pin, 37-pin, etc23.
VHDCI SCSI Connector: This is a type of SCSI connector that has a very high-density cable interconnect (VHDCI) 0.8mm 68-pin connector with 68 pins arranged in two rows of 34 pins each. It is suitable for applications that require high-reliability and advanced performance. KinKuo offers various types of VHDCI SCSI connectors, such as right-angle type, straight type, male type, female type, etc2.
