I'd refer to the original (pc/xt/at...) keyboard connector as DIN,  which
is also the same one that was used all over the place on the c64,  only in
different numbers of pins,  from 5 up to 8.  The PS/2 style keyboard and
mouse connectors,  I'd refer to as mini-DIN.  Smaller diameter,  by a
significant amount,  and I've never even attempted to solder one.
