DB25S
Connector
What's a DB25*S*?
Many catalogs referred to D-shell connectors
as "socket" or "pin"
(DB-25S, DB-25P) for a long time because the terms "male" and
"female" were potentially confusing.
I find "socket" and "pin" more confusing, because, honestly, my
initial
reaction is that they refer to the same sex.
