[aprssig] DIN Connectors

[scott at opentrac.org]

I'm fond of Digi-Key for their parametric search capabilities and technical
information links, but for connectors sometimes there are just too many
options and it can be hard to find what you're looking for.  Jameco's
selection is much narrower, but easier to browse, and where you can count on
Digi-Key to have 300 varieties of DB9 connectors including all sorts of
exotic and expensive variations, Jameco will usually have the 3 most common
ones for a decent price, and they're easier to find and identify by picture.

Mouser's search system bugs me, but it finds lots of cross-reference parts,
and their prices are usually good.  I buy a lot of cases there, and reels of
passives.

They all have pretty good online ordering systems, but as long as you meet
their minimum order, I think Digi-Key generally gives me the best deal on
shipping.
