Explanation

PS/2 connectors are 6-pin mini-DIN connectors used to connect keyboards and mice to older PCs. The DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung) standard defines circular connectors with multiple pins; the 'mini' variant is the smaller 6-pin version. BNC is a bayonet-style coaxial connector. RCA is the red/white/yellow audio-video connector. DB9 is a 9-pin D-subminiature connector used for serial ports - none of these are DIN connectors.
