 The '''[[wikipedia: VGA_connector|(Video Graphics Array (VGA)) connector]]''' is a three-row 15-pin '''DE-15''' connector.  The 15-pin VGA connector was provided on many video cards, computer monitors, laptop computers, projectors, and high definition television sets.  On laptop computers or other small devices, a mini-VGA port was sometimes used in place of the full-sized VGA connector.
-'''DE-15''' has been conventionally referred to ambiguously as D-sub 15, incorrectly as DB-15 and often as HD-15 (High Density, to distinguish it from the DE-9 connector used on the older CGA and EGA cards, as well as some early VGA cards,[5] which have the same E shell size but only two rows of pins).  The video connector is an "E" size D-sub connector, with 15 pins in three rows, which is the high-density connector version (DE15HD).

 The part containing pin contacts is called the male connector or plug, while that containing socket contacts is called the female connector or socket.
