General Description
These breakout boards bring all 40 pins of a Mini D Ribbon Female connector out to double deck screw terminal blocks for easy connection and prototyping work. Each pin is also brought to solder pads (3 per pin) at 0.1" spacing, allowing the addition of small components or 0.1" headers.

The 40-pin connector used on this board goes by several different names, including Mini D Ribbon, MDR, and Mini Centronics.

(Mini D-Ribbon 40-Pin Female connector)

These break out boards are perfect for experimentation and prototype work, as well as for use in the educational laboratory. They are well-suited for interfacing with data acquisition equipment or any other devices that use a Mini D Ribbon connector. A breakout board is sometimes referred to as a "transition module", "terminal board", or "interface module".

For mounting on a panel, we suggest the rubber feet version (-FT), 1/4" nylon standoffs under the mounting holes, and #6 screws.

DIN Rail Mount Version
These products are also available with DIN rail mounting clips for quick and convenient mounting where DIN rail is used. Product numbers ending with -DIN come with DIN clips already installed and ready to mount. The clips allow mounting on standard 35mm rail as well as 32mm rail.
