DIN connectors are a standardized type of electrical connector originally developed by the German standards organization Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN). Widely used across audio systems, power applications, data transfer, and industrial automation, these connectors are known for their robust design and efficient pin configurations. Whether you're replacing a 5 pin DIN connector in vintage audio gear or wiring up a 9 pin DIN plug for control systems, our collection of high-quality DIN connectors has you covered.

What is a DIN Connector?

A DIN connector refers to a family of circular connectors that typically feature multiple pins arranged in a standardized pattern. These are used to carry audio, digital signals, or power in various applications.

DIN connectors are available in multiple pin counts, such as 5 pin DIN connectors, 6 pin DIN connectors, 7 pin DIN connectors, and 9 pin DIN connectors, depending on the specific requirements of your device or system.

Common Types of DIN Connectors

5 Pin DIN Connector: Frequently found in MIDI devices, vintage audio systems, and intercoms.
6 and 7 Pin DIN Connectors: Used in specialized equipment requiring additional signal paths or power delivery.
9 Pin DIN Connector: Common in industrial machinery, automotive diagnostic tools, and some data systems.
Mini DIN Connectors: A smaller version of standard DIN connectors, often seen in S-video connections and computer peripherals.

Applications of DIN and Mini DIN Connectors

DIN connectors are valued for their secure connections and ability to carry multiple types of signals. You'll find them in:

Audio Equipment (vintage amplifiers, cassette players, MIDI gear)
Industrial Automation (sensor and actuator connections)
Data Transfer and Serial Communication
Power Delivery for DC Equipment
Computer Peripherals (Mini DIN connectors for older keyboard and mouse interfaces)
