• AMPLIMITE Cassette Connector | TE Connectivity

The AMPLIMITE cassette connector is designed as a complete systems approach for use with magnetic bubble memories, as well as RAM, PROM and EPROM memories. This versatile, highly reliable connector is comprised of a cartridge and cartridge holder.

The cartridge consists of top and bottom cover halves that snap together, a front cover which provides keying, a 33-position Subminiature D receptacle connector and a sliding gate for optical "write-protect" sensing. Cover halves also have provisions for a customer logo and program identification label. A long version of the cartridge is available to provide an additional 1.460 [37.08] of length.

The cartridge holder consists of a holder body that accepts the cartridge and includes mounting ears for pc board mounting, a cover which provides keying and flush rear-panel mounting and a 33-position Subminiature D pin connector. Also included are provisions for "busy" and "write-protect" LED's and a "write-protect" optical sensor. A long cartridge holder is available to accept the long cartridge.
