The Pan Pacific PCB Mount category narrows the Centronic Connectors family to a specific legacy computer and serial connectivity format, helping match the mechanical interface before choosing a part number. Examples currently represented in Wallco's Pan Pacific catalog include 57-10140PCB (57-10140PCB Centronic 14Pin Male Pcb Mount Type) and 57-10140PCB-N (57-10140PCB-N Centronic 14/M Pcb Straight Edge).
For this Pan Pacific category, verify connector size/contact count, gender, pinout or wiring function, cable length, hood/mounting style and whether the device is straight-through, crossover, null-modem or terminator. Those attributes determine mating compatibility and whether the part is appropriate for the intended equipment or cabling system.
The catalog path is Pan Pacific > Connectors & Components > Centronic Connectors > PCB Mount. Keeping the manufacturer family, parent interface and exact subcategory together is useful for distinguishing parts that share a similar appearance but use different termination, wiring, impedance, contact or mounting details.
Start with the existing Pan Pacific part number when replacing a component. If it is unavailable, document the mating equipment and the key attributes for pcb mount: connector size/contact count, gender, pinout or wiring function, cable length, hood/mounting style and whether the device is straight-through, crossover, null-modem or terminator.
Wallco currently has 27 active Pan Pacific products assigned to this category in the latest catalog export. The category is intended to narrow the choice; final compatibility should be confirmed at the individual part level.
Do not assume that two products in the pcb mount family are interchangeable solely because they share a connector family. Pinout, impedance, shielding, termination, shell size, wiring standard or signal direction may differ depending on the interface.
Compare connector size/contact count, gender, pinout or wiring function, cable length, hood/mounting style and whether the device is straight-through, crossover, null-modem or terminator.
Match the complete Pan Pacific part number first. If cross-referencing, compare the mating interface, mechanical format, termination/wiring and electrical or signal requirements before substituting another model.
