'''D-sub Connectors''' (full name D-subminiature) are a common electrical connector introduced by [[Cannon]] in 1952. D-sub connectors are most often used for communication such as serial or video data.

The most common D-sub connector for automotive applications is the DE-9 connector (more commonly mislabeled as a [[DB-9 Connector]]) for diagnostic tools, data loggers, CAN tools, etc.

The most recognizable D-sub connector to people over 30 is the DE-15 connector, AKA the "VGA connector" which is typically coded blue in color.

=== D-sub Connector Types: ===
A D-sub contains two or more parallel rows of pins or sockets usually surrounded by a D-shaped metal shield, or shell, that provides mechanical support, ensures correct orientation, and may screen against electromagnetic interference. The hexagonal standoffs (4-40 bolts) at both sides of each connector have a threaded stud fastening the connectors to the metal panel and accept a 3/16" hex socket.
