General Description
Insert this diagnostic Breakout Test Board into existing cable connections and get access to signals via test points and headers; this is the pass-through function of this board. In addition, switches allow individual signals to be disconnected from the circuit, which aids in diagnostics, troubleshooting, fault tolerance testing, or re-routing specific signals within a cable. This compact design is meant to be inserted into the cabling of a system during operation. Normal system operation can continue while signals are probed and manipulated. It is a handy test point breakout board with inline interruptor switches.
This board contains dual DB15 connectors (1 Male, 1 Female). This connector selection generally allows for very convenient insertion into existing cable configurations, without the use of gender changers, etc.
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.

- Re-routing selected connector signals
Technically, the correct term for a DB15 connector is DA15, but that term is not commonly used.

A breakout test board may also be referred to as a "measurement breakout", "pass-through board", "test breakout", "inline test adapter", or "breakout testing board".

Mounting Options
These products are available in two different mounting variants. Product numbers ending with -DIN come with DIN clips already installed and ready to snap onto 35mm or 32mm DIN rail. 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 1/4" nylon standoffs under the mounting holes, and #6 screws.
