In the tables below, the connector on the left is typically found on devices while the connector on the right is typically found on cables. Drawings are in the same scale.
| DB25SCSI-1, Used with the older Apple Macs, Zip drives, and many scanners. Old Future Domain controllers have a DB25 with a different design then other devices with the DB25. |

| ID50SCSI-1, SCSI-2, SCSI “narrow”, Typically, almost all internal 8 bit SCSI controllers & drives use this connector. The “Male” is sometimes called the “Socket” since it is found on the device (controller, motherboard, or drive). The “Female” is sometimes called the “Plug” since it is found on cables. |

| CN50SCSI-1, SCSI-2, Appears mostly on peripherals, the peripheral most often has a Female connector and the cable has the Male. |

| DM50SCSI-2, SCSI “narrow”. Most 8-bit “Fast SCSI” controllers use this connector. Often referred to as the SCSI-2 connector. From a distance this and the DM68 look almost the same. The DM50 is 1-3/8″ wide where the DM68 pin is 1-7/8″ wide. |

| DM68SCSI-3, Ultra Wide, LVD, HVD. The mating area of these is the same for both external and internal, but the internal connectors tend to be designed for internal ribbon cables. This is a wider version of the SCSI-2, the 68 pin is 1-7/8″ wide while the DM50 is only 1-3/8″ wide. |

| CU68VHDCI .8mm, HPCN68, sometimes called SCSI-5, very popular with RAID cards. (VHDCI=Very High Density Centronics Interface). This connector is quite a bit smaller and densely packed. Also called an Ultra2 SCSI-P. |

| CH80SCA, Found on internal SCA drives. Also called HP Centronics 80, Micro Centronics 80, or HD Centronics 80. 68 pins are used for SCSI (LVD or SE) and then the extra pins are used to provide power to the drives. The pins are numbered backwards from what we’re used to. |

| Other High Density CentronicsThese connectors are not seen too often, the CH60 was found on IBM RS6000 equipment. There is also some IBM equipment with the CH68 connector. These pictures show only the connector that’s found on the cable. |
