Which makes it a redundant statement, right: DE-9 = D(9)-9 :-)
Jim
Not really. DE doesn't mean "9 pin." DE is the physical size of the
shell. 9 is the number of pins. Both parts of the name are required to
correctly specify the connector.
A VGA port is the same size as a 9-pin serial port, but it has 15 pins
on three rows. So it's a DE-15HD. (As you'd expect, HD means "High Desnsity".)
A game port (the old school 15-pin one) is actually a DA shell, so it's
DA-15.
So this can cause confusion if you tell someone you need a "DB-15"
connector, since there are two D-Sub connectors that commonly use 15 pins - the
DE-15HD VGA connector and the DA-15
Here's the size chart from Wikipedia.
