The 6-Pin Mini DIN Socket remains one of the most recognizable connectors in the world of computing and electronics. Best known for its role as the PS/2 port on motherboards for keyboards and mice, this 6-pin interface is also widely used in radio equipment, medical devices, and industrial controllers that require a secure, multi-channel signal in a compact circular form factor. Our sockets are built with high-grade shielding and precision-aligned pins to ensure a stable, no-latency connection.
Vintage PC Repair: The perfect replacement part for broken PS/2 ports on legacy motherboards or KVM switches.
Amateur Radio (Ham Radio): Frequently used for DATA/Packet ports on various transceivers (like Yaesu and Icom).
Industrial PLC Interfaces: A reliable connector for serial data communication and low-voltage control signals.
DIY Electronics & Robotics: Excellent for projects that need to transmit multiple signals (up to 6 lines) through a single, easy-to-use plug.
Standard 6-Pin PS/2 Layout: Fully compatible with all universal 6-pin Mini DIN male plugs and legacy computer peripherals.
Integrated Metal Shielding: Features an outer metal shroud to provide grounding and superior protection against EMI/RFI noise.
Robust Mounting Tabs: Designed for high-stability mounting, ensuring the socket stays firmly in place even with frequent insertion cycles.
Space-Saving Profile: The "Mini" DIN design allows for high-density placement on control panels and compact PCB boards.
Reliable Data Transmission: Copper-alloy contacts ensure low resistance and zero signal dropout for sensitive data applications.
Keyed Alignment: Features a specific internal notch that prevents incorrect orientation, protecting pins from being bent or broken.
High Durability: Built to withstand the rigors of industrial use and the high temperatures associated with standard soldering processes.
Connector Type: Mini DIN Female
Pin Count: 6 Pins
Mounting Type: PCB Through-hole or Panel Mount (Model dependent)
Is this the same as an S-Video port?
No. S-Video uses a 4-pin layout. This is a 6-pin socket. They are physically similar but the pin configurations are different and not cross-compatible.
Can I use this for power?
While used for low-voltage signals, many specialized chargers (like for older laptops or scanners) use this 6-pin format. Always verify the pinout before applying power!
What tools do I need to install this?
For PCB mounting, a fine-tip soldering iron and solder wick (for desoldering old ports) are required due to the small, dense pin spacing.
