It's probably a DE9. It's most often an error! If you order a DB9 from a knowledgable supplier, you'll probably be disappointed.
The 'B' is the shell-size, and the 9 is the number of pins populated in it. The problem, of course, is that every ignoramus in the retail industry and twice as many from without, refer to everything that remotely resembles a 'D'-shaped connector as a DB-something. That shell that's commonly used for VGA, Serial, and some other connections is an 'E'-size shell. The one commonly used for AUI cable and MIDI cable connecitons is a size-A shell. The old "standard" RS-232 connector uses a 'B' size shell. The 37-position connector that once was found on every PC Floppy Disk adapter is a size-C shell, and the one most often used by SUN and DEC for 50-pin SCSI connections is a size-D shell. Perpetuaing this misnomer, is inappropriate for an engineering discussion. [getting down from soapbox] Consider your wrist slapped, Jon. RE |
