The '''[[wikipedia: Mini_D_ribbon | | The '''[[wikipedia: Mini_D_ribbon |Mini D Ribbon (MDR) connector]]''' is a common type of electrical connector for a variety of applications, such as in computer and telecommunications equipment having many contacts. | ||
The connector contains two parallel rows of contacts within a shielded case having a characteristic D-shape similar to that used in D-subminiature connectors. The contacts are not pins, but small flat bands of metal, called ribbon contacts. The connectors are manufactured in many capacities, including 14-, 24-, 36-, 50-, 64-, and 100- pin varieties. They may be mounted on boards, panels, or may terminate cables. Wires are attached by means of solder, crimping or insulation displacement. Female connectors have bail locks for a sturdy connection to the male connector. Screws may also be employed to secure connections. | The connector contains two parallel rows of contacts within a shielded case having a characteristic D-shape similar to that used in D-subminiature connectors.

Usually the female connector mounted on the host or device is called the "receptacle", and the male connector attached to the cable is called the "plug". | Usually the female connector mounted on the host or device is called the "receptacle", and the male connector attached to the cable is called the "plug". | ||
The MDR connector is seen on newer Tektronix test equipment like the RSA Series Spectrum Analyzers [[RSA3408]], [[RSA5103]], [[RSA5106]], [[RSA5115]], [[RSA5126]], [[RSA6106]], [[RSA6114]], [[RSA6120]], | The MDR connector is seen on newer Tektronix test equipment like the RSA Series Spectrum Analyzers [[RSA3408]], [[RSA5103]], [[RSA5106]], [[RSA5115]], [[RSA5126]], [[RSA6106]], [[RSA6114]], [[RSA6120]], and [[CTRL7100A]]. | ||
