Sounds to me, like many things, each vendor has their own standard ;) Honestly, I've no idea if mini-DIN has a numbering standard (though the name, DIN means Deutsches Insitut für Normung, a German standards org)
What I normally do is use the numbering (or naming) that either makes most sense in my application or matches the chosen vendor for the component. I've found quite often that a seemingly identical component from two manufacturers can me subtly mechanically different. Choose one part from one manufacturer and specify that in the drawing. It would be worse to use the 'standard' in the drawing then have a difference from the supplier, you can bet somebody some time will wire up the plug wrong, following the text on it. j. -----Original Message----- From: Peder K.

Anybody who knows if there is any official standard pin numbering for the MIN DIN sockets ? I ask due to the fact that I have seen 3 different ways of numbering, from 3 different vendors.
