In other words, one DA15S " game adapter " connector has 4 analog potentiometer inputs and 4 digital switch inputs.

Similarly, a male standard-density D-sub with a size 1 shell can be named DE9M or DE9P ; a female standard-density D-sub with a size 2 shell can be named DA15F or DA15S ; a male high-density D-sub with a size 3 shell can be named DB44M or DB44P ; and so forth.

Bronze parts are tough and typically used for bearings, clips, electrical connectors and springs.

Only components are connectors, capacitors, resistors and voltage indicator LEDs.

* Fall protection: Carabiners use for fall protection in US industry are classified as " connectors " and are required to meet Occupational Safety and Health Administration standard 1910. 66 App C Personal Fall Arrest System which specifies " drop forged, pressed or formed steel " construction and a minimum breaking strength of.

The most common forms used are 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T. All three utilize twisted pair cables and 8P8C modular connectors.

Because the Eurocard system provided for so many modular card sizes and because connector manufacturers have continued to create new connectors which are compatible with this system, it is a popular mechanical standard which is also used for innumerable " one-off " applications.

Compared with RS-232, USB is faster, uses lower voltages, and has connectors that are simpler to connect and use.

As an alternative, USB docking ports are available which can provide connectors for a keyboard, mouse, one or more serial ports, and one or more parallel ports.

The trailer controls are coupled to the tractor through two " glad-hand " connectors, which provide air pressure, and an electrical cable, which provides power to the lights and any specialized features of the trailer.

" Glad-hand " connectors ( also known as " palm couplings ,") are air hose connectors, each of which has a flat engaging face and retaining tabs.

The faces are placed together, and the units are rotated so that the tabs engage each other to hold the connectors together.

These connectors are similar in design to the ones used for a similar purpose between railroad cars.

Commercial themocouples are inexpensive, interchangeable, are supplied with standard connectors, and can measure a wide range of temperatures.

Transceivers can be connected to cable segments with N connectors, or via a vampire tap, which allows new nodes to be added while existing connections are live.

They are also used when extending any sort of cable that normally has plugs on both ends ( rather than a socket on one and plug on the other ), however in this case it is usually called just an " extender ", such as with F connectors, BNC connectors, and various RJ connectors used in telephony and computer networking.

Gender changers are used in professional audio to adapt XLR connectors, RCA connectors, Speakon connectors and TRS connectors.

The connectors are attached to flexible, thickly insulated leads that are terminated with connectors appropriate for the meter.

For example, the DIN 41612 connectors used in the VMEbus system can withstand 50 to 500 insertions and removals ( called mating cycles ), depending on their quality.

Backplanes have grown in complexity from the simple Industry Standard Architecture ( ISA ) ( used in the original IBM PC ) or S-100 style where all the connectors were connected to a common bus.

In addition to its dedicated I / O bus structure, the Nova backplane had wire wrap pins that could be used for non-standard connectors or other special purposes.

Additionally, nearly all motherboards include logic and connectors to support commonly used input devices, such as PS / 2 connectors for a mouse and keyboard.

In addition to the original 31. 25 kbit / s ( baud is the signalling rate and is the reciprocal of the shortest signalling element ; bits / sec is the data rate ) current-loop transported on 5-pin DIN, other connectors have been used for the same electrical data, and transmission of MIDI streams in different forms over USB, IEEE 1394 a. k. a. FireWire, and Ethernet is now common.

Some early MIDI implementations used XLR3 connectors in place of the 5-pin DIN.

* Teco-1-1 / 2 x. 148 shanks nails used in metal connectors ( usually hurricane ties )

This signal is known as RGBS ( 4 BNC / RCA terminated cables exist as well ), but it's not directly compatible with RGBHV used for computer monitors ( usually carried on 15-pin cables terminated with 15-pin D-sub or 5 BNC connectors ), which carries separate horizontal and vertical sync signals.

Since most devices use only a few signals, smaller connectors can often be used.

Universal Serial Bus ( USB ) is an industry standard developed in the mid-1990s that defines the cables, connectors and communications protocols used in a bus for connection, communication and power supply between computers and electronic devices.

10BASE2 ( also known as cheapernet, thin Ethernet, thinnet, and thinwire ) is a variant of Ethernet that uses thin coaxial cable ( RG-58A / U or similar, as opposed to the thicker RG-8 cable used in 10BASE5 networks ), terminated with BNC connectors.

An example is a cable connector shell with either two female or two male connectors on it ( male-to-male or female-to-female ), used to correct the mismatches that result when interconnecting two devices or cables with the same gender of connector.

This was essentially a replacement for Apple's connector that had conventional phone jacks instead of Apple's round connectors.

* BS 4343 for industrial electrical power connectors

To ensure a ready supply of inexpensive cabling for its home computer peripherals, Commodore chose standard DIN connectors for the serial interface.

The main console unit consists of a 14 × 8 × 2 inch rectangular plastic case that houses the motherboard, with a cartridge slot on the right side and connectors for the external power supply and RF jack at the rear.

A motherboard ( sometimes alternatively known as the mainboard, system board, planar board or logic board ) is a printed circuit board ( PCB ) found in all modern computers which holds many of the crucial components of the system, such as the central processing unit ( CPU ) and memory, and provides connectors for other peripherals.

This board has few onboard peripherals, as evidenced by the 6 slots provided for ISA bus | ISA cards and the lack of other built-in external interface connectors

Most motherboards have connectors for additional case fans as well.

Some devices provide test voltages on their interface connectors for this purpose.

D-sub connectors follow another rule for pin assignment.

In addition to transmission loss, including those of any splices and connectors, allowance should be made for at least several dB of optical power margin losses, to compensate for component aging and to allow for future splices in the event of a severed cable.

* PC connectors and ports

A Gender of connectors and fasteners | male D-subminiature | DE-9 connector used for a serial port on a IBM PC compatible computer.

Sound Blaster cards since 1999 conform to Microsoft's PC 99 standard for color coding the external connectors as follows:

It had 88 transistors, a two-sided PC etch, two 18-pin and two 22-pin connectors ( two on each side of the module ).

The prototype had a ZIF-socket G3 processor, PCI and ISA slots, Mac and PC serial ports, onboard SCSI, PC and Mac floppy drive connectors, ATX power supplies, and PS / 2 keyboard and mouse connections, inserted into an ATX case.

Since the early 1990s, when the game port moved from dedicated expansion cards to PC I / O or sound cards, these connectors have usually doubled as connectors for MIDI instruments ; two of the redundant + 5V and GND pins of the original standard were rededicated to MIDI input and output to make this possible.

Because personal computers first used DB25 connectors for their serial and parallel ports, when the PC serial port began to use 9-pin connectors, they were often labeled as DB9 instead of DE9 connectors, due to an ignorance of the fact that B represented a shell size.

DE9 connectors were not used for game ports on the Apple Macintosh, Apple III, IBM PC systems, or most newer game consoles.

The IBM DA15 PC game connector has been modified to add a ( usually MPU-401 compatible ) MIDI interface, and this is often implemented in the game connectors on third-party sound cards, for example the Sound Blaster line from Creative Labs.

In the retail PC world where margins are very thin, these connectors are a natural target for removal.

Two 9-pin DB-9 rear connectors allow radio and PC access.

It also added the availability of HDMI type A connectors for PC sources, the ability for PC sources to only support the sRGB color space while retaining the option to support the YCbCr color space, and required HDMI 1. 2 and later displays to support low-voltage sources.

Despite being physically identical to Atari 9-pin or PC game ports, the pinouts of those connectors are not standard, and connecting standard controllers to them may result in malfunction or damage of the controller or the Famiclone itself.

Many monitors with 13W3 connectors do not support separate sync as supplied on most PC systems.

This creates a level of backward compatibility not available in even desktop PC card-edge connectors.
