CABLE CONNECTIONS AND PIN LISTS
The cable connections to the host are J3 on the PCB. Table 2-1 lists the pins and signals for the
9-pin connector, and Table 2-2 lists the pins and signals for the 7-pin connectors.
Table 2-1. 9-pin I/O Header, J3, Pin List (P/N 21065114)
Pin Number Signal Description
1 Back Sensor Active low when the card is at the
rear of the unit.
2 Track 2 Data Active low
3 Card Present Active low
4 Track 2 Strobe Valid data with falling edge
5 Key No Connection
6 Vcc +5VDC
7 Gnd Ground
8 Track 1 Strobe Valid data with falling edge
9 Track 1 Data Active low
Header: AMP P/N 640456-9
Mates: AMP P/N 640442-9 (one in a series of 50 – see AMP catalog)
Table 2-2. 7-pin I/O Header, J3, Pin List (P/N 21065117)
Pin Number Signal Description
1 Vcc +5VDC
2 Track 1 Data Active low
3 Track 1 Strobe Valid data with falling edge
4 Track 2 Data Active low
5 Track 2 Strobe Valid data with falling edge
6 Back Sensor Active high when the card is at the
rear of the unit.
7 Gnd Ground
Header: ITW Pancon P/N MLAS100-7
Mates: ITW Pancon P/N CE100F28-7, CE100F26-7, CE100F24-7, CE100F22-7
Back Sensor and Card Present
The back sensor is active low when the card is fully inserted at the back of the unit. If a Card
Present signal is used as with P/N21065114 (See Table 2-1 above), the movement of an encoded
magnetic stripe past the read head generates the signal active low. These two signals are gated to
reduce the dwell time needed before the read-on-withdrawal can be initiated. On P/N 21065117,
Back Sensor is active high.
Track Data
Tracks 1 and 2 data signals are active low when data is read. See Timing below.
