@tubetime I thought it was the H shell that was the width of the B but half the height.

@tubetime Since they cut down on one row of pins, maybe we should cut down on the designation letters and just call it the D-15 connector?

@tubetime so this why the vga connector is called HD-15

@tubetime Why do they skip some letters when marking pins?

@grishka @tubetime 😱 😮 😮 😮 I know that Russians have "a very practical sense" but I did not think it gets so deep 😄 It reminds me of those small coax connectors for RG174 cable can't remember how they are called. Seriously who/what/where do they use that '1 pin connector' if it may be asked 🙂 ?

Giles, actually I don't think 1-pin connectors are a thing at all. You need at least 2 pins to do something useful because there has to be a ground connection.

@grishka @tubetime As shown in that picture it MAY work if we consider the 'external copper' part of the shield/ground so it could fit a coax cable I suppose. Yes 1 cable alone I am not sure could do anything.

@grishka @gilesgoat @tubetime If it's slow enough you can use the earth ground for that. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth-return_telegraph (I'm not suggesting this as a recommended solution, but as an interesting tidbit!)
