Note some manufacturers may color code their headers to assist in troubleshooting, color-coding is not referenced in the standard. The pin-to-pin spacing is 0.1 inch, which is also a standard for many other applications. The header pins are male while the cable side of the connector has female pins. The header consists of two rows of 17 pins. The cable length should be between 19 inches and 24 inches, while some may be as long as 32 inchesĬonnector topics Shrouded Header Definition, and an Un-Shrouded Header Definition, and a list of Header Connector Manufacturers. The odd pins are on the keyed side of the connector, while the other side The cable connectors are female, and require male 34-pin headers on the Size and would not use the pinout table below. Pin out difference, and is used to indicate which drive is the 'A' drive.Įxternal floppy drives using USB as the interface could be any A common cable name which accepts both the 3.5" andĥ.25" drives may be termed a universal cable. The 3.5" floppy drive format is the size inĬommon use, and the common cable in general use will not have the 5.25"ĭrive connectors. TheĬonnector size differ between the two drive types, with the 5.25" drives The table below provides the Personal Computer Drive A Pinout for either The internal case drives use the pinout described on this page, while external drives normally use a USB interface. There are still a number of companies that Manufacturer Floppy Disk Drives. Standard version 25.4 x 101.6 x 146mm, and a reduced size TwoĬommon size devices are produced for the 3.5 inch floppy drive the for the 720KB size and 17434 bpi for the 1.44MB size. Bit Density for the two common size Floppy Disks are 8717 bpi FDD spin at a nominal rate of 300 RPM.Ĭommon power dissipation over the 5 volt line will be in the range of 1.25 However 1.25MBps may alsoīe found on some drives. Speeds for Floppy Disk Drives normally are 250KBps for the 720KBĭisk size and 500KBps for the 1.44MB disk size. The transfer speeds are relatively slow, and the data storage capacity vary low. In addition the semiconductor memory within the USB drive will not have the shock and vibration issues that the mechanical floppy drive has. Even the smallest USB Thumb Drive on the market has more memory and cost less than a floppy drive. Production but not recommended for new designs. The floppy drive is considered a legacy product at this point, still in
