Default D-sub connectors - color codes
Argggg....I had located a nice datasheet that had the color codes for the D-sub pins and sleeves (the color bands on the barrel, which correspond to different AWG sizes). Of course, I went away for the holidays and now can't find it nor can I remember what Google search I used to find it.

Can anyone help?

TIA!

Steve

You probably just need the common 20-24 g crimp pins.

The color code is for the last three digits of the Mil-Spec.

369 and 368 are the ones applicable - Industrial version here -

Colors would be orange/blue/white for pins, and orange/blue/gray for sockets.

Thanks, Gil! I should have realized...they're the same as the resistor color codes. Doh!
