Connector Pin Counting Sequence

It is sometimes helpful to understand the pin counting sequence in a connector. This page is designed to help you understand how different connector types count their pins.

alt-count-250 (27K) stagger_count200 (8K) #1

Alternating count, or sometimes called Staggered count. This is a very typical counting pattern for dual row headers of all kinds.

The different families of Cirris adapters that have this counting pattern are listed here.
  • AHED
  • AHEF
  • A2MM
  • AH50
  • ADVI
  • APCD
  • APCS
  • AUSB
  • ACEF
50pos-m-dsub (39K) 50pos-sub-225 (12K) #2

Column count is simply starting at the bottom of the row on the right (female) on the left (male) and count up to the top. You then pick up the count at the bottom of the next row to the left/right and count to the top again. The pattern shown is for a 50 pos. connector but smaller D-Sub connectors will have only two columns but the pattern remains the same. This is column count!

The different families of Cirris adapters that have this counting pattern are listed here.
  • A8MM
  • ABRM - ABRF
  • ARMG - ARFG
  • AD5P - AD5S
  • ADBP - ADBS
  • ADPG - ADSG
  • AMDP - AMDS
  • AMPG - AMSG
  • AVM1 - AVM2
column-ab-300 (29K) alt-column-250 (13K) #3

Column count #2 is simular to the standard column count. However on this connector there is a 'A row' and a 'B row'. Both start at #1 at the bottom and count up from there.


The families of Cirris adapters that have this counting pattern are listed here.
  • AVM1
  • AVM2
lfh-225 (39K) continuous_count225 (13K) #4

Continuous count connectors. The LFH type connector to the left is a good example of a continuous count connector.

The family of Cirris adapters that have this counting pattern are listed here.
  • ALFH-60
  • ALFH-160
  • ALFH-200
