23-pin D connectors were rare, expensive and overkill for RGBS. This is either a cost saving Or more likely a mistake.


DB23 connectors have never been hard to find, and they're only expensive compared to more common connectors like the DB25. Otherwise, the price is nothing a hobbyist would sneeze at.

That is not a PCB 23-pin connector.


Depends on how you use it.  :-D

Those were the connectors everyone used. All you do is put the traces on the edge of the PCB, then slide the board between the pins of the connector and solder. Who needs right angle headers or all that carp?  8-)
