SCSI 3 HPDB68 F / IDC50M Adaptor

Introduction

The purpose of this adapter is to allow the conversion of the SCSI connector from HPDB68 (typically used on SCSI devices) to IDC50 (used for connecting to the motherboard or expansion cards). This would enable you to connect SCSI devices with an HPDB68 interface to an older computer system that has an IDC50 interface on the motherboard or SCSI controller card.

SCSI 3 stands for Small Computer System Interface. It's a set of standards for connecting and transferring data between computers and peripheral devices like hard drives, scanners, printers, etc. SCSI 3 is a specific generation of the SCSI standard.

HPDB stands for Half Pitch DB68 connector. The number 68 indicates the number of pins in the connector. HPDB68 is often used for connecting SCSI devices, providing a relatively high number of pins for data, power, and control signals.

IDC50M: IDC stands for "Insulation Displacement Connector". IDC50M refers to a SCSI 1 50-pin IDC connector, typically used in older SCSI systems.

The adapter comes with a bracket designed to be attached to a computer's motherboard. This bracket holds the adapter securely in place, allowing it to be connected internally within the computer case.
