DSN files can represent two different applications, namely:

In this application, a DSN file is a printed circuit board, or PCB, created by OrCAD, a program used to design circuits and PCBs.

This DSN file stores the circuit diagram and is usually one of several files included in an OrCAD project, which in turn is identified by the extension OPJ.

DSN files refer to "symbols", which are the electronic components used to make the design.

DSN files are usually opened with OrCAD PCB Designer because they are created by the program, however DSN files can also be imported with other programs, such as Altium Designer, which opens them as schematic files using the program's import wizard.
