Make connections quickly and reliably with this breakout board, which brings every pin of its DB26HD connector out to pluggable terminal blocks. This product is available with male or female connectors, and with screw terminals or spring terminals.
This board features removable terminal blocks which can be unplugged and removed from their bases.
This provides convenience in several different contexts:
Terminal rows can be independently populated before being utilized in a larger connection system. This is particularly useful when working with equipment in difficult to reach locations.
Terminal rows can easily be swapped between equipment.
Terminal rows can be unplugged quickly and easily for debugging purposes.
Instead of replacing the entire board, individual terminal rows can be replaced when worn from extended use.
To utilize this board's plug-in feature, simply pull the terminal row away from its base, make the desired connections,
and plug the assembled piece back into its base. Terminals can also be populated while still plugged into their base.
This breakout board is perfect for production applications as well as experimentation and prototype work. It is helpful for working with I/O cards, DAQ devices, and other devices that use a DB-26 High Density
connector.
Technically, the correct term for a DB26HD connector is DA26, but that term is not commonly used.
A breakout board is sometimes referred to as a "transition module", "terminal board", "terminal block", "breakout box", "breakout adapter", "terminator", or "interface module".

This product is available with two different wire terminal options:
Spring Terminals (BRKLD9x-RG-x): Spring terminals allow connections to be made very quickly and efficiently.
Simply depress the actuator button on top of the terminal block, insert or remove the wire, and release the button.
Screwless spring connections can offer better results in environments where vibration could potentially loosen standard screw terminal connections.
Screw Terminals (BRKLD9x-RW-x): Each connection is made by turning a screw to tighten the wire in a terminal cage clamp.
A screwdriver with a 3.5mm wide blade is a good fit for these screw terminals.

Product numbers ending with -FT have stick-on rubber feet installed on the bottom side,
allowing for benchtop use or panel mounting. For panel mounting, we suggest
