DA15 Wire Solder Male D-Type Connector
The DA15 Wire Solder Male D-Type Connector is a standard 15-pin connector widely used for analog and digital signal transmission in industrial, audio, computer, and control applications. It follows the D-subminiature standard with a 3-row pin layout (5+5+5 configuration), providing reliable multi-channel connections in a compact form factor.
This male connector features solder-cup terminals for straightforward hand-soldering of individual wires, making it ideal for custom cable assembly, repairs, or prototype work. It mates securely with standard DA15 female sockets and can be mounted in metal or plastic backshells for improved durability and electromagnetic shielding. The DA15 is a common choice for joystick interfaces, older VGA connections, MIDI devices, industrial control signals, and various legacy equipment where robust, shielded multi-pin connectivity is needed.
