This release adds seven new connectors, two new signal types and two new connector groups, along with wider adapter compatibility for RF coax connectors and new direct outlet connections for DC powered gear.
New Port Options
New Connectors
- SMA
- RP-SMA
- Locking DC 2-Pin
- Locking DC 3-Pin
- Locking DC 4-Pin
- Aviation 3-Pin
- Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 4-Pin
SMA and RP-SMA join BNC, F Type and N Type in the Coax group. Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 4-Pin is in the Power group with its own default colour.
To keep the connector selector easier to browse, we have also added two new groups. The new DC Power group, after CEE, holds DC Barrel and the three new Locking DC connectors, so DC Barrel has moved out of the Power group. The new Aviation group, after DIN, holds Aviation 3-Pin along with the existing Aviation 4-Pin, which has moved there from Other.

Connector Compatibility
These connectors can now connect directly to Schuko, BS 1363 and NEMA 5-15, the same as DC Barrel. The external power supply is treated as the cable, so a device powered this way connects straight to the outlet feeding it without needing an adapter.
- Locking DC 2-Pin
- Locking DC 3-Pin
- Locking DC 4-Pin
- Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 4-Pin
These connectors can now all connect to one another using an adapter. Previously F Type and N Type could only connect to Generic ports.
