The Pan Pacific Mini DIN Connectors category narrows the DIN & Mini DIN Connectors family to a specific circular DIN and industrial connectivity format, helping match the mechanical interface before choosing a part number. Examples currently represented in Wallco's Pan Pacific catalog include MD-3P (MD-3P Mini Din Male Connector 3 Pin Solder Cup) and MD-3S (MD-3S Mini Din Female Connector 3 Pin Solder).
For this Pan Pacific category, verify pin count, keying/orientation, male/female gender, panel versus cable mounting, locking style and cable diameter. Those attributes determine mating compatibility and whether the part is appropriate for the intended equipment or cabling system.
The catalog path is Pan Pacific > Connectors & Components > DIN & Mini DIN Connectors > Mini DIN Connectors. Keeping the manufacturer family, parent interface and exact subcategory together is useful for distinguishing parts that share a similar appearance but use different termination, wiring, impedance, contact or mounting details.
Start with the existing Pan Pacific part number when replacing a component. If it is unavailable, document the mating equipment and the key attributes for mini din connectors: pin count, keying/orientation, male/female gender, panel versus cable mounting, locking style and cable diameter.
Wallco currently has 17 active Pan Pacific products assigned to this category in the latest catalog export. The category is intended to narrow the choice; final compatibility should be confirmed at the individual part level.
Do not assume that two products in the mini din connectors family are interchangeable solely because they share a connector family. Pinout, impedance, shielding, termination, shell size, wiring standard or signal direction may differ depending on the interface.
Compare pin count, keying/orientation, male/female gender, panel versus cable mounting, locking style and cable diameter.
Match the complete Pan Pacific part number first. If cross-referencing, compare the mating interface, mechanical format, termination/wiring and electrical or signal requirements before substituting another model.
