D-type
1. <hardware> A type of computer peripheral connector so named because one side is shorter (with one less pin) than the other giving a (squarish) "D" shape.
The connectors have two rows of pins (or holes).
Common types are 25-way (13+12 pins) and 9-way (5+4 pins).
They are often used for serial lines, especially
EIA-232.
