D-subminiature connectors refer to a wide array of connecting devices that share the common characteristic of a D-shaped metal plate surrounding the output pins. They are narrower on the bottom than on the top, which ensures that the orientation of the connector is always correct when joining with the receptacle and prevents interference with the signals running through the contact points within. D-subminiature connectors are most commonly seen on computer motherboards. They serve the VGA video output, serial port, and a variety of other specialized uses. They are very simple to use and nearly fool-proof, making them very common in the consumer market. Most commonly they also use two screw clamps to ensure tight and durable connections. They are very versatile and adaptable and have a proven track record, both with consumer computing and industrial electronics.
