Hey guys,
this is a rather academic question because a few tens of microns don't matter much with those old clunkers, but still this got me puzzled:
Looking at datasheets of D-SUB Connectores from different manufacturers, I find three different inter-pin distances along the rows:
ERNI: 2.75mm Harting: 2.74mm for 9 and 15 pin connectors, 2.76 for the others. Deltron: 2.74mm FCT: 2.74mm
The inter-row distance seems to be consistently 2.84mm.
All of course are supposed to be according to the same DIN/ISO standard. Then there is the "US" and the "European" footprint, but I think the difference is the distance between the PCB holes and the front panel plane for the angled connectors.
I wonder if it is really true that the 9/15 pin plugs have an ever-so-slightly different pitch than the others. Who comes up with ideas like that?
