Connectors and Pin Definitions
The connector configuration permits the controller to be placed in-line between the touchscreen and serial I/O attachments.
Serial
connector, P2, and signal descriptions
The serial I/O connector, P2, is a dual row by five position header
with 0.025 inch pins on 0.100 centers. The header is compatible with
insulation displacement cable (IDC) connectors such as Berg series
71600, series 71602, series 66900, and series 66902, Molex style
40312, Amp series 746285 and series 746288 receptacles. The header
is also compatible with crimp termination, discrete wire receptacles
and housings including Berg Mini-Latch housings and Mini-PV receptacles,
Molex series 70450 connectors, and the Amp AMPMODU Mod. IV connector
family. Pin numbering schemes for discrete wire connectors differ
between manufacturers. Refer to Figure 1 for pin number
locations. When the mating IDC receptacle is cabled to an IDC DB-9
connector, the interface assumes a DCE configuration as described
in ANSI/EIA/TIA 232-E.
