MX 5 Pin DIN Female Connector PCB Mounting Plastic (MX-445)

Where the chassis-mount DIN sockets are meant to be fixed to an enclosure panel, this one solders straight onto a circuit board, putting the DIN connection right where the board needs it without an intermediate cable or bracket. The plastic housing keeps cost and weight down for designs where the connector doesn't need to survive heavy mechanical stress - it's meant to sit inside an enclosure, protected from the knocks a chassis-mount connector might take from the outside. Five pins give enough conductors for power plus a handful of signal or control lines, which covers a good range of legacy and purpose-built DIN wiring schemes.
