DA15 Wire Solder Female D-Type Connector
The DA15 Wire Solder Female D-Type Connector is a robust 15-contact (hole) connector used for transmitting analog or digital signals in control systems, industrial equipment, audio interfaces, and older computer connections. Following the D-subminiature standard, it features a 3-row configuration (5+5+5) to accommodate multiple signal lines within a compact footprint. The solder-cup terminals allow for easy manual wire soldering, making it ideal for custom multi-core cable assemblies, prototype work, and repairs. This female connector mates securely with standard DA15 male plugs and can be mounted with metal or plastic backshells to enhance shielding and provide strain relief. Commonly used in legacy game controllers, MIDI devices, industrial machinery, and instrumentation, the DA15 female connector ensures stable, interference-resistant multi-channel connectivity.
