DB9 BreakOut Board

A breakout board sometimes referred to as a “transition module”, “terminal board”, “terminal block”, “breakout box”, “breakout adapter”, “terminator”, or “interface module”. These breakout boards are designed with 9 pins that come with a shield of a DB9 connector out to screw terminal blocks for easy connection and prototyping work. These breakout boards are the ideal solution for field wiring tasks and are available in two different connector hardware options: captive screws or jackscrews. The jack screws work perfectly while mounting the breakout board to a wall box plate or thin panel that has a DSUB cutout. Whereas the captive screws ensure a convenient connection to a mating connector that already has jackscrews.

This breakout board with a small footprint indicates that the end profile of the breakout board is no wider than the connector itself. This breakout board is important for installations where equipment contains multiple connectors which are spaced closely together. These slim breakout boards can be mounted directly even in restricted space to the equipment without using extension cables. Although the breakout board footprint is small, arrangement for strain reliefs has been included; holes drilled in the board provide anchor points where tie-wraps are attached.

Moreover, these breakout boards are available with both male and female connectors. The BRKSD9M has a male connector, and the BRKSD9F has a female connector. These break-out boards are designed as perfect for production applications as well as for experimentation and prototype work. They work perfectly with RS-232 serial ports, I/O cards, and any other device that uses a DB-9 connector. And also helpful in making MODBUS connections.
