The useful distinction
Recognize it. Then verify it.
The 50-position CHAMP form is a larger ribbon-style connector family distinct from the familiar 36-position printer connector and from 50-position IDC headers. [C247A]
Source-scoped identification facts
Each value retains its exact example, role and measurement axis. Facts from different parts must not be combined into an invented component.

Recorded variant and source limits
- CHAMP shape and contact count do not establish SCSI, parallel, telecom or any other protocol assignment.
- The cited component geometry is not a universal CHAMP fabrication tolerance or mating-gauge specification.
Bounded facts, visible unknowns
Specifications and limits
| Documented identification | 50-position/contact recognition fact in the cited implementation. [C247A] |
|---|---|
| Mechanical dimensions | No independently reviewed mechanical drawing in V43; do not use this page for fabrication, fit testing or tolerance work. |
| Engineering pinout | Source-checked engineering profile available; independent review pending. Open engineering profile → |
| Verified device list | Not included. Check exact device and accessory documentation. |
Use the source-backed form or position count only for identification. Resolve ratings, protocol, direction, wiring, cable construction and exact device support from the relevant equipment and component documentation.
Before you connect
What to check
- Identify the exact connector family and variant from the equipment or cable documentation.
- Keep shape, contact count, protocol, electrical rating and device support as separate facts.
- Do not force, rewire or adapt a connector from this recognition record; resolve the remaining requirements first.
What is not established
This field note does not approve a connection, adapter, cable assembly, rewiring scheme or fabricated part. It intentionally omits unsupported pin assignments and mechanical tolerances.
