DIN Connector

Definition: A DIN connector is a type of electrical connector standardized by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), commonly used in audio, MIDI, and industrial applications.

Common Types:

• DIN 41524: 3-pin to 5-pin circular connectors, often used in analog audio (e.g., older synth interconnects).
• Mini-DIN: Smaller variants (e.g., 4-pin, 6-pin, 8-pin), used in S-video, Apple Macintosh computers, and some keyboard/mouse connections.
• MIDI DIN: 5-pin DIN used for MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) signaling.

Pins & Wiring (MIDI Example):

Note: Always verify pinout per application; not all DIN connectors are wired the same.
