All D shell connectors are not size B, only those with 25 pins - the  
proper designation being DB-25. The 15 pin versions are DA-15 and  
DE-15 (the latter being the three row version). The 37 and 50 pin  
versions are DC-37 and DD-50 respectively.

Size-wise, besides the "standard" D-subminiature connectors are HD,  
micro, and nano variants.

   <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-subminiature> has an excellent  
rundown on the various flavors (flavours) and variants of these  
connectors.
