Right Angle Board Mount IEEE-488 Connector
Mil specification A-A-55145 defines an IEEE-488 connector which terminates to a PWB [Printed Wiring Board]. The GPIB cable side is secured by a screw and is right angle to the card.
General requirements for a polarized shell, receptacle, electrical digital interface bus connector. This connector can be used in applications that require conformance to the IEEE 488 interface standard, and require termination to a printed circuit board of up to 3.175 millimeters (.125 inch) thick. Note; 0.125 inches is the normal thickness of a backplane. The connector is a right angle mount type.
Connectors are intended for commercial/industrial applications and may be used in military systems where individual environmental and performance requirements can be met.
Technical description of the General Purpose Interface Bus
IEEE488.1; defines the physical layer of the bus system. See also, IEC60625.1
Note that the upgrade path for GPIB is called LXI, but is not compatible with the GPIB specification.
