D-Sub DE15 Socket (VGA Port)

Last crawled date: 2 years, 11 months ago

This connector is part of the D-Subminiature family, and uses the E-size shell with 15 pins (the 'high density' or 'HD' configuration). This connector is most commonly used for RGBHV video transmission, first used for this purpose by the IBM VGA standard. Dimensions are based on physical measurements and may not be perfectly accurate. It is commonly misidentified as a 'DB-15' port, likely because people just read a table on Wikipedia or something and see that the 'DB' connector has 15 pins and the DE shell only has 9 pins, so DB must be the right one. However, those are the pin counts for the standard density configurations. The high density E-shell also has 15 pins. This is the connector used for VGA video ports. This port is also commonly referred to as: • 'VGA' on computers and monitors • Simply 'D-Sub' on some monitors • 'PC' or 'RGB' on many older TVs • 'D-Sub HD15' occasionally #female #vga #port #rgb #pc #dsub #de15 #db15 #hd15
