How Do You Define A 15-Pin VGA Connector?
Many computer displays and high-definition televisions connect to computers with a VGA cable. While newer devices often use HDMI or DVI, adapters are available to work between the different connectors. The male end of the VGA connector is on a cable or a part of an adapter, while the female end of the VGA connector is at the video card or a part of an adapter. The male end of any connector has pins or prongs, while the female end acts as a socket. Count the pins or pin sockets in the connector. VGA connectors have three rows of five pins or pin sockets. Examine the shape of the connector. VGA connectors are trapezoidal. Look for two screws or screw holes on either side of the connector. VGA connectors use two manual screws to ensure a steady connection between devices.
