Which connector uses 15 pins?
Video Graphics Array (VGA)
The Video Graphics Array (VGA) connector is a standard connector used for computer video output. Originating with the 1987 IBM PS/2 and its VGA graphics system, the 15-pin connector went on to become ubiquitous on PCs, as well as many monitors, projectors and high definition television sets.
What is a 15 pin connector?
A Video Graphics Array (VGA) connector is a three-row 15-pin DE-15 connector. The 15-pin VGA connector is found on many video cards, computer monitors, and some high definition television sets. On laptop computers or other small devices, a mini-VGA port is sometimes used in place of the full-sized VGA connector.
Where does the 15 pin SATA cable go?
The SATA 15-pin power supply connector is one of the standard peripheral power connectors in computers. It’s the standard connector for all SATA-based hard drives and optical drives. SATA power cables protrude from the power supply unit and are meant to reside only inside the computer case.
What is the round plug called?
A coaxial power connector is an electrical power connector used for attaching extra-low voltage devices such as consumer electronics to external electricity. Also known as barrel connectors, concentric barrel connectors or tip connectors, these small cylindrical connectors come in an enormous variety of sizes.
What do you plug into a three row 15 pin port?

| What do you plug into a three-row, 15-pin port? | You plug a monitor into a three-row, 15-pin port. |
| What connector was designed to connect your PC to a high-end television set? | HDMI was designed to connect your PC to a high-end television set. |
Is D-Sub better than HDMI?
HDMI vs. HDMI is in every way superior to a D-Sub VGA connection. HDMI from 2002 is superior to the age-old D-Sub VGA from 1987 because it can do Full HD 1080p and higher depending on what type of HDMI standard you’re using. VGA can do 1080p too any higher like 4K is pushing it.
What do you plug into a three row 15-pin port?
What is a 25 pin connector called?
A DB25 connector has 25 pins arranged in two rows, with one row on top of the other. The top row has 13 pins and the lower row has 12 pins. DB25 connectors are most often used for parallel, RS-232 serial, or SCSI applications.
Where do you plug SATA?
For SATA data (the smaller connector), you plug it into a SATA port on the motherboard. Placement varies from board to board, but the majority of motherboards have them positioned along the right side of the board, most commonly just below the 24 pin power connector.
Why do electric plugs have 2 holes?
The main purpose is to allow the outlet to firmly grip the plug to prevent it from coming lose and falling out of the socket. This works by having little bumpers installed inside the outlet that line up with and fit inside the holes on the prongs.
Where can I find the pin number on a connector?
You may find pin numbers on the connector itself, or on the mating connector. Generally, pin 1 is given a unique shape (often square). Beyond that, numbering tends to be non-standard – you’ll need to check the manufacturer’s datasheet for the specific connector in question. Generally, the ‘different’ pin is pin 1.
Can a 15 pin male connector be used with a serial connector?
The 15 pin male connector is a game port connector, you can’t use it with a serial connector. It would normally connect to the Midi/game port on your sound card.
Why is a 15 pin connector called a D-sub?
They are named for their characteristic D-shaped metal shield. Connector usually contains two or more parallel rows of pins or sockets surrounded by a D-shaped metal shield that provides mechanical support, ensures correct orientation, and screen against electromagnetic interference. There is one linked connector – 15 pin D-SUB female.
Can a 12 volt power supply be plugged into a 4 pin connector?
If you plug them both into the same power supply cable then you are drawing all the power of the 8 pin 12 volt connector through a single 18 gauge wire. You can often get away with that but there’s no reason to do it. Motherboards can come with either a 4 pin 12 volt connector or an 8 pin 12 volt connector.

What do pins 5, 6, 14 and 16 support?
If pins 5, 6, 14 and 16 are populated, the vehicle supports CAN. If pins 5, 7, 16 and, optionally, 15 are populated, the vehicle supports ISO or KWP. If pins 2, 5 and 16 are populated, the vehicle supports VPW. If pins 2, 5, 10 and 16 are populated, the vehicle supports PWM.

How are the pins numbered on a DE9 connector?
Normally the square pad is pin 1. The left picture looks like a DE9 connector – on that connector family, the pins are numbered along the row from pin 1, then the second row is numbered in the same direction, like:
