Installation and Physical Interface
Physical Interface: Connecting to the SKB Connector
The typical application makes use of a 50 strand flat ribbon cable with a crimped 50-pin (25x2) IDE
HDD connector. However, in Simplex (SK/SP emulation), a 26 pin flat cable and crimped connector
(13x2) would be used in order to make it backwards compatible with existing products.
Depending on customer applications and requirements the following connectors are recommended:
1. Connect to the SKB with PCB-PCB interface:

•
50 + 4 position right angle - Reversed (p/n 7511)
•
50 + 4 position right angle (p/n 7510)
2. Connect to the SKB by ribbon connectors:
