These breakout boards feature two DB15HD connectors (high density, 3 rows of pins). The two connectors (one male, one female) are wired 1:1 (pin 1 to pin 1), and all pins are brought out to screw terminals for easy connection. In addition, the shield (connector shell) is brought to a screw terminal as well. The two connectors allow the board to be easily inserted "in-line" with an existing connection, allowing signals to pass through while being monitored. It is also very convenient for "daisy-chaining" equipment. In addition to the screw terminal connection, each pin is also brought to solder pads (5 per pin) spaced on 0.1" centers, allowing easy addition of standard pin headers.
These break out boards are perfect for experimentation, prototype work, troubleshooting, educational labs, or permanent installations. They are well-suited for work with I/O cards, CNC equipment, and any other device that uses a DB-15HD connector. A breakout board is sometimes referred to as a "transition module", "terminal board", or "interface module".
