Techopedia Explains DIN Connector
A DIN connector is a type of electronic cable that was widely accepted as the standard for many years and for various applications. It is comprised of a protective metal skirt that contains straight round pins. The skirt is strategically keyed to allow the plug to be inserted correctly and to prevent damage to the pins. However, keying is uniformed in all original DIN connectors and can be accident ly connected to the wrong mate, which may cause damage. The introduction of the Mini-DIN prevented possible misconnections.
