BoB DSUB Breakout Boards – Retrofit Tools

DSUB connectors are one of the most common connectors out there, yet it can be difficult to find breakout boards suitable for use with CNC systems.

Our DSUB BoBs not only make it easy to probe every signal on the connectors, you can easily interrupt one or more signals for diagnostic purposes.

We currently offer the following DSUB BoBs:

DSUB 9 BoBs are perfect for testing quadrature encoders, serial ports, MPGs, and other devices with only a few connections.

Note: Simply reverse the A and B ends for opposite connector genders.

Commonly used for encoders in Fagor CNC systems, such as 8010, 8020, 8025, 8030, 8040, 8050, 8055.

This board allows the shield signals between connectors to be disconnected by removing two jumper shunts.

Used for general I/O in some CNC systems, such as Fagor products, as well as serial I/O for many older CNCs.

Note that the BoB-DB25 uses 0.1″ spaced square posts for testpoints rather than our usual loop type.
