DIN is the abbreviation of "Deutsches Institut für Normung" (German Association for Standardization), which is an interface standard developed by them. In consumer electronics products, DIN connectors generally represent a member of the circular connector family that meets DIN standards, and the quality requirements are relatively strict. However, the term DIN connector does not represent any specific connector. Purchase din connectors of various specifications from stock and enter [Product Center].

DIN connector classification
DIN connectors are divided into DIN connectors and mini DIN connectors by diameter:
1. The DIN connector provides a variety of configurations from 3 pins to 9 pins, especially the 5-pin DIN connector has many different types. The arc between the first pin and the last pin can be 180°, 240 ° or 270 °. The most common uses of DIN connectors are analog audio, keyboard and mouse connections, and MID digital interfaces.
2. Mini DIN connector is similar to DIN connector, but its diameter is smaller, and it provides a variety of different pin numbers and pin orientations. The most common use is to interconnect video, keyboard and mouse.
DIN connectors are divided into circular DIN connectors and special-shaped DIN connectors according to their appearance:
The male heads of the circular DIN connectors are all 13.2 mm diameter metal shielded plugs, and their pin definitions are different. The circular DIN connector plug has a circular metal shielding skirt to protect the pins. The protective skirt also ensures that the plug is inserted in the correct direction to prevent damage to the pins. Since the protective skirt is the same, it cannot prevent the DIN male connector from being connected to the incompatible DIN female connector. The circular mini DIN connector has been improved. There are common 8-pin connectors for circular DIN connectors.
Special-shaped DIN connector, also called speaker connector, see the figure below. The two-pin DIN41529 connector is used to connect speakers and power amplifiers. Used in 16mm film projectors and Mercedes-Benz cars.
DIN connector application
1. Analog audio
3pin/180° and 5pin/180° connectors are widely used in the connection of analog audio equipment in Europe. For example, the stereo amplifier or preamplifier in a stereo tape recorder uses 5pin/180° connectors (four signals and ground). However, it is rarely used in the United States and replaced by RCA connectors.
2. Digital signal
5pin/180° connectors are widely used in: DIN electronic musical instrument synchronization interface, MIDI electronic musical instrument interface, serial interface of early AppleIIc (8-pin mini DIN), IBMPC and PC/AT (5-pin AT keyboard), and Amiga keyboard And mouse cable, now replaced by ATX PS/2 interface (also 6pin mini DIN connector).
