GPIB Connector Diagrams, Mechanical Drawings


Several pages have been added to hold military CID [Commercial Interface Document] paper mechanical drawings for the IEEE-488 connector, GPIB [General Purpose Interface Connector].

The main link is off the top level HPIB Description page, to IEEE488 CID Mechanical Drawings. Here are the new pages, that carry the CID drawings:
A-A-55094,
A-A-55138,
A-A-55139,
A-A-55140,
A-A-55141,
A-A-55144,
A-A-55145,
A-A-55146.

These page show the mechanical drawing for the connector, and provide no other data other than the specification title. The purpose of the page is to hold the connector picture or gif and that's it.
The page addition to the site map is coming soon.

The sitemap has been viewed 790 times so far this year at 250k bytes, that's 195M bytes of server bandwidth saved. The file is not local;

OK, those new pages are in the sitemap and also listed out on the interfacebus.net site on one of the military specification pages.

So including this blog listing that's three external pages that point to the new set of pages for the HPIB connector.

IEEE-488, GPIB, and HPIB all refer to the same interface standard. However IEEE-488 is the correct usage.

Hmm these pages are not seeing any page views yet, but at least one returns as the first listing on a "A-A-55094" search. Of course who would know to search on that.

The series only gets about 4 views a-day, at best.

1. What is the MIL connector qualified for IEEE-488 operation?
2. I need a military HPIB connector?
3. Define a IEEE-488 military style connector....

6/19/09 Ok this series of pages have been listed now for over a year and really never get any incoming visits.

Of course the GPIB Bus is out-dated, it's not as if the interface is used in new equipment any longer.

The LXI interface was introduced to replace the IEEE488 bus;

The page with the least amount of visits (and no page rank);
