SUB-D connectorsSUB-D connectors, also known as D-Sub or D-Subminiature, are common plug connections primarily used in computers. The name miniature was appropriate for the time when these connectors were common, but nowadays it is a fairly large connector. SUB-D connectors have their own numbering system, always starting with 'D', followed by the plug code with the exact number of pins. SUB-D connectors are available with 9 pins (=E), 15 pins (=A), 25 pins (=B), 37 pins (=C), and 50 pins (=D). This is followed by 'M' for Male or 'F' for Female. So, DB25M is a male 25-pin SUB-D connector, while a DA15M is a SUB-D 15-pin connector. 15-pin SUB-D connectorThe 15-pin SUB-D connector is also called a Gameport. It is an (now) outdated connection on the computer for analog joysticks. Until 2005, this connection was often found on the sound card, but now there are (almost) no computers left with this connection. Since 2007, USB has become the standard connection for joysticks and gamepads. In addition to gamepads, this connection has also been used in medical devices, speaker systems, and other devices. This is because the plug is quite common and patent-free. Please note!This is not a VGA connector. The VGA connector, also a SUB-D connector, has 3 rows of 5 pins (15 in total), while the Gameport has 2 rows of 8 and 7 (15 in total). Ask a question about this product
