I've heard them called Amphenol, CHAMP, telco, PBX
and RJ21X
connectors as well as "Blue Ribbon" (shows my age). But why
"Centronics"?
I normally call them 'Blue Ribbon' -- what should be be calling them?
Amphenol make (made?) a very large range of connectors, so that name is
nowhere near specific enough...
Still, it could be worse. At least one major UK supplier calls the
'IEEE-488 connectors' (no, not just the 24 pin version, all sizes).
Does anyobody know where to get them with more than 50 pins? I am looking
for a 64 pin plug (I think, maybe 60 pin), the socket is on the expansion
interface PCB for the HP IPC.
