I think of the old IBM Token Ring Connector.

Surprisingly I only had one experience with Token Ring. What a pain.


The unusual type I referred to earlier actually had pins and holes on the

encountered them, I don't even remember what they were called.

The most common I can think of is the North American small trailer light
plug. The car side has three females and a male.
