I have an HP 2875B paper tape drive that I want to interface to. It has a 50 pin block connector (using well under 1/2 the pins). The connector manufacturer was Continental.

I have already discovered, the hard way, that it is not a winchester connector - the pins on the 50 pin Winchester connector I just obtained via ePay that otherwise fits are too small in diameter and won't make contact. I *could* increase their diameter using solder - but -- yuck.

The other connectors of this sort I am familiar with that have the same general overall size and pinout were made by AMP. Does any one know if the AMP connectors and the Continental connectors would be compatible?

Thanks.
