VGA Connector

There are at least four versions of the VGA connector, which are the three-row 15 pin DE-15 (also called mini sub D15) in [original] and [DDC2] pinouts, a less featureful and far less common [9-pin VGA,]. The image and below table are the newer 15-pin VESA DDC2 connector. Note that the pin numbering in the diagram is as seen looking towards a male connector; the pin numbering on the female connector as present on a graphics card at the back of a computer is the mirror image of that shown.

This connector is often incorrectly referred to as a DB-15 or HDB-15.

Where size is a constraint (such as laptops) a mini-VGA port can sometimes be found in place of the full-sized VGA connector.
