First appearances of connector types?
Anyone know of somewhere that lists the first appearances of such connectors
as Scart Mini din in particular but preferably other types as well for bookmark purposes. -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ |

Guessing: SCART: Probably the late 1970s/early 1980s when video recorders, Teletext, and other video deices began showing up on the market. Mini-din: Mid 80s, when S-VHS video recorders started showing on the market, or when IBM came our with the PS/2 system, and used the mini 6 pin din instead of the larget XT/AT 5 pin din for the keyboard, and later mouse. |

For Scart I have only got to earlier than 1984 and mini-din there seems to be confusion in usage of the term with fine pitch D connectors but mid 80s seems about right. Unfortunately the old catalogues I have are for more industrial type than domestic connectors. -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ |

DIN means a standard, of course, so there's a date of issue for the DIN documents (which probably isn't the same as first manufacture or use). |
