It can, but nobody would do that as it would be cheaper to use a DB-25 connector and not use all the pins. If they went for the cursed true DB-9 they would need to meet the minimum order quantity for a special order, pay for the manufacturer's tooling, and any required certifications. If you needed the spacing between pins for some reason you would probably just specify the use of crimp-and-insert.
That being said, the DE-0 is real, but it can't hurt you.
- alex7o 1y agoSearching google for DE-0 didn't bring any results but now I am curious to see it.

- formerly_proven 1y agoIsn’t that just a normal bring-your-own-contacts connector housing?
- axoltl 1y agoYep. Though if you don't place any of them - depending on how technical you want to get - that's a DE0.
- bigbuppo 1y agoIt's just a filler that in the form of a DE connector with no holes for any pins. It was an old full-rack CISC AS/400 for what it's worth, but I scrapped it 30 years ago.
- arghwhat 1y ago> That being said, the DE-0 is real, but it can't hurt you. That depends on several factors, like its current velocity.
- crtified 1y agoWhile your statement is perfectly accurate, I just wanted to blithely add that it's not the velocity that hurts you, it's the change in velocity :))
- hathawsh 1y agoVelocity alone can also kill: https://what-if.xkcd.com/1/ https://what-if.xkcd.com/1/ Randall Munroe rules this space IMHO.
- arghwhat 1y agoWhile it's a common joke, not quite - if you're hit by baseball, your velocity does not change significantly as energy is dissipated in other ways, and the change in velocity of the baseball is a consequence of the lost energy, not a cause of damage. Dissipation of energy hurts you. :)
- jameshart 1y agoYou can remove pins from D-sub connectors. There are dedicated tools made for doing so.
- mmastrac 1y agoIn a pinch, a pair of pliers works too.
- arjvik 1y agoDoesn't VGA use DE-15?
- ianburrell 1y agoEdit: I was wrong, it is DE-15 connector. They squeeze 15 smaller pins into 9 pin housing.
