In a word, yes. I was trying to avoid the flamewar we
got into a
while back when some one else called it a 50-pin centronics (well, at
least that was part of the flamewar). Basically, Centronics is a
printer interface type, not a type of connector. Amphenol (along with
others I'm sure) made the 36pin connector commonly called a 'centronics'
connector.
Ok! I got it. Centronics may be a specific printer type, but a
"centronics connector" is much more descriptive to most than an
"amphenol" connector. Amphenol has made MANY kinds of connectors!!
Anyway, OK. I have some of the cables I'll need then, phew! Thought I
was going to have to go searching for a cable.
