Is D-Sub the same as DB25?

HD connectors often have three rows of pins instead of two. D-sub connectors are usually described by the total number of pins that they can hold. In some cases, a DB25 connector may only have 4 or 5 pins loaded into it; however, it is still called a “DB25” connector and not a “DB4” or “DB5”.

Is RS-232 and DB9 the same?

DB9, for example, is a 9 pin connector for a serial cable. You can see one here. RS-232, on the other hand, refers to the standard itself. RS-232 (sometimes called EIA-232) describes how systems can communicate between each other using a serial cable.
