D-Connectors and DIN Connectors

[Bob DeHaney]

Never had any fail unless you count the one time I got heavy handed
connecting a VGA monitor :-( And of course the cable was soldered to the
monitor board.

And the JAs did NOT give us DIN connectors DIN is the abbreviation for
Deutsche Industrie Norm or in English, German Industrial Standard.

and to nit-pick some of ya'll even more.  What most folks, and even
industry professionals call  a DB-9. (typical computer connectors) are
actually DE-9.  DB-9 is a common misnomer for the DE-9 (a true DB-9
connector would have 9 pins in a connector the shape and size of a
DB-25, the other 16 pins would just be missing).

D-subminiature connectors were invented by ITT Cannon , part of ITT
Corporation in 1952. Cannon's part-numbering system uses a D as the
prefix for the whole series, followed by a letter denoting the shell
size (A=15 pin, B=25 pin, C=37 pin, D=50 pin, E=9 pin), followed by
the actual number of pins, followed by the gender (M=male, F=female).
For example, DB25M denotes a D-sub with a 25-pin shell size and 25
male contacts.

  I worked for ITT from 1961-1964.  IIRC Cannon was not in the
  ITT "stable" in 1952 or during the time that I was with them.
  It may have been acquired by ITT later.
