Restore vintage gear or build custom MIDI interfaces with our 5-Pin DIN Female Socket. Featuring the industry-standard "Half-Moon" (180-degree) pin arrangement, this socket is a critical component for audio, musical instruments, and legacy computing. Whether you are repairing a classic European amplifier or assembling a DIY synthesizer, this robust connector ensures a precise, low-noise interface for your 5-pin DIN cables.
MIDI Equipment: The standard port for MIDI Input, Output, and Thru connections on keyboards, controllers, and sequencers.
Vintage Hi-Fi: Essential for repairing or modding classic European audio brands (such as Bang & Olufsen, Naim, or Quad) that utilize DIN connectors for line-level signals.
Computer Peripherals: Used in legacy AT keyboards and various data communication devices.
DIY Audio Projects: Create custom breakout boxes or patch panels for specialized signal routing.
180° Half-Moon Configuration: Precision-aligned 5-pin layout (pins 1-4-2-5-3) compatible with all standard 5-pin DIN male plugs.
Durable Panel Mount Design: Features integrated mounting ears or a threaded body for secure attachment to equipment chassis.
Shielded Metal Housing: Provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
Solder-Friendly Terminals: Equipped with clear, easy-to-access solder buckets for a reliable and permanent internal wiring connection.
Reliable Signal Path: High-quality nickel-plated or silver-plated contacts (model dependent) ensure minimal signal loss and long-term durability.
Snug Friction Fit: Engineered for a secure mechanical hold that prevents accidental disconnections during live performances or studio sessions.
Versatile Compatibility: Works seamlessly with both vintage 2-pin and 3-pin DIN cables, as the 5-pin 180° socket is backward compatible for many audio applications.
Connector Type: DIN Female Socket
Pin Count: 5 Pins
Configuration: 180° (Half-Moon)
Material: Metal Shielded Housing with Phenolic/Thermoplastic Insulator
Is this the same as a MIDI port?
Yes. A standard MIDI port uses exactly this 5-pin 180° DIN configuration.
Will it fit my vintage European stereo?
Most vintage European audio gear uses the 180° (Half-Moon) layout. However, some specialized data gear uses a 240° (C-Shape) layout—please double-check your pin spacing before ordering.
Is it difficult to solder?
No. The pins are spaced sufficiently for standard soldering iron tips, making it a beginner-friendly repair part.
