Q: What is the difference between a 5 pin din 180°, 240° and 270°?

A: There is a slight difference between the configuration of the pins. The 180° has a more circular layout. A 240° connector has more of a horseshoe layout. A 270° connector has a pin in the middle. See the image below.

Q: How are the pins labeled on a male DIN connector?

A: The pins are numbered 1-4-2-5-3 from right to left (with the pins upwards).

Q: What are 5 Pin DIN 180° Connectors commonly used for?

A: The 5 Pin DIN 180° Connectors are commonly used for SYNC and MIDI interfaces for electronic musical instruments and other audio applications. They are also used for computer keyboards such as the original IBM PC and the PC AT Style.

Q: What cables are used with DIN Connectors?

A: Din connectors are commonly used with multi-conductor cables with at least one conductor per pin on the connector.

Q: How do I attach a DIN connector to my cable?

A: In order to attach a DIN connector to a cable you must solder each pin to its respective conductor.

Q: How do I prevent melting the plastic in the connector during soldering?

A: When soldering a DIN connector avoid heating the untinned wire and connector point and applying the solder all at once. This will cause melting and frustration. Tinning the wire ends and allowing them to cool before you tin the connector will prevent melting and allow you to attatch the wire correctly.
