And the JAs did NOT give us DIN connectors DIN is the abbreviation for Deutsche Industrie Norm or in English, German Industrial Standard. and we owe them to Dr. Preh... founder of Prehpreh.com.

Re: [Elecraft] D-Connectors and DIN Connectors
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. -- JT Croteau, N1ESE - Manchester, NH ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

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. -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
