Metal Shielded PS/2 DIN PCB Jack
This conduit component is a right-angle 6-pin PS/2 DIN connector designed for direct PCB mounting. It suits technicians and hobbyists repairing or building legacy keyboard and mouse interfaces.
Build Quality and Mounting Implications
A metal shield covers the silver-tone housing measuring 1.4 x 1.3 x 1.7cm, providing EMI protection in dense board layouts. The right-angle orientation keeps cable strain low against the chassis while the PCB mount pads allow straightforward hand or wave soldering.
Deciding Specification
The connector carries exactly six contacts in the standard PS/2 mini-DIN pinout, so it only fits devices wired for that legacy keyboard or mouse interface. Buyers needing USB, serial or larger DIN variants must select a different part.

Questions about this item
What does the 6-pin PS/2 DIN interface limit in practice?
It carries legacy keyboard or mouse signals only; no hot-plug or power-delivery capability beyond the original PS/2 spec.
What are the exact board-space dimensions for the right-angle metal body?
The shielded housing measures 1.4 cm long, 1.3 cm wide and 1.7 cm high (0.55 x 0.51 x 0.69 in).
How is this connector soldered to the PCB and which step is often missed?
Insert the six through-hole pins, solder each joint, then solder the metal shield tabs to ground — skipping the shield tabs leaves the connector ungrounded.
