I haven't seen one, but I know "Peritel(ivision)" as another name for SCART.

SCART (from Syndicat des Constructeurs d'Appareils Radiorécepteurs et Téléviseurs ? Radio and Television Receiver Manufacturers' Association) is a French-originated standard and associated 21-pin connector for connecting audio-visual (AV) equipment. It is also known as Péritel (or Peritelevision) (especially in France), 21-pin EuroSCART (Sharp's marketing term in Asia), Euroconector,[1] EuroAV or EXT. In America, another name is EIA Multiport (an EIA interface).

Peritel connector is another name for a SCART connector, it is used more in France- or was.

I would expect it to be rather old hat these days.

Indeed, found it on the back of an old telly sat in my attic. Not sure if I can even freecycle it, might have to stick it in the blue box.

Ugh. We used those as a last resort to connect odd things together, lik= e a TV to a computer.

Oui!

Because at the time that was a small as a connector could be made with that number of pins. My understanding is that here have been advances in metallurgy which have made it possibly to have much smaller, but still reliable, springy, contacts.

Er.... I think you corrupted that link.

Nope, works fine here.

The original version likely had characters with accent marks (=AmE "flyspecks") that are not permitted by the basic standard for URL formation....r

Péritel

Now if your reader obeys the 'this is UTF8 e acute accent...that should make sense.

Most windows based readers and probably google groups don't.

It works for me.

Does the link have unusual characters in it? The above % codes make symbols for me, and A with an accent and a copyright symbol. Wikipedia then doesn't know what page I'm requesting.

Wrong.

But he's just trolling as usual, so I won't explain.

There were higher density connectors (in various fields) around when SCART was introduced. SCART was simply cheap and easy to assemble and a standard at a time there wasn't really one. As connectors go, to put it mildly, it isn't very good. Having said that, given they tend not to be plugged /unplugged that often etc., they did the job.

r Manufacturers'

They were really easy to wire up your own too, for example to distribute= the output of a Sky box to several TVs.
