General Description

Make connections quickly and reliably with this breakout board, which brings every pin of its DB15 connector out to screw or spring terminals. This breakout board comes mounted in an attractive case. It is available with either Thumbscrews or Jack Screws for connector hardware. See pricing table below for all part numbers. This product is available with both male and female connectors.

Note: This product contains the 'standard density' DB15 connector with 2 rows of pins. See the DB15HD products for the 3-row 'high density' 15-pin DSUB connector.

This breakout board is perfect for production applications as well as experimentation and prototype work. It is helpful for working with I/O cards, CNC equipment, and other devices that use a DB-15 connector.

Technically, the correct term for a DB15 connector is DA15, but that term is not commonly used.

Need something different? We stock a variety of DB15 breakout board styles and form factors. Please have a look!

A breakout board is sometimes referred to as a "transition module", "terminal board", "terminal block", "breakout box", "breakout adapter", "terminator", or "interface module".

Enclosure

The breakout board comes already installed in a sturdy black plastic hood enclosure / shell with a removable cover. A hole in the end provides ample space for conductors to exit the enclosure, and a convenient strain-relief feature allows wires to be easily secured with a zip tie in just seconds. A curved channel guides the zip tie (included) around the wire bundle and back up for cinching.

Terminal Options

This product is available with two different wire terminal options:

Spring Terminals (BRKEGx): 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. In addition, screwless spring connections can be attractive in environments where vibration could potentially loosen connections.
Screw Terminals (BRKEAx): Each connection is made by turning a screw to tighten the wire in a terminal cage clamp.
