Make your own custom DE-15 cable or DE-15 interface with ease, using this DE-15 Plug to Terminal Block Breakout. You get a nice solid PCB with a DE-15 plug and two strips of terminal blocks that you can use with stranded or solid core wire to quickly assemble your own wiring jigs.
If you just need a plain DE-15 / VGA cable, we have plenty and it's less expensive to just buy a standard cable than DIY it. We recommend this adapter when you need a non-standard wiring setup or interfacing to a device with a VGA interface (that's what these connectors were used for the most)
Sometimes DE-15 connectors are referred to as DB-15. Technically that's the wrong name, but its so ingrained that most people only know the connector as DB-15.
Comes with one fully assembled breakout and a clip-on housing
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
- Terminal block
- A terminal block is a connector that joins wires together in a neat, removable, or serviceable way, usually clamping each wire under a screw or spring instead of soldering. It makes it easier to connect, change, or service wiring without permanent joints.
- VGA
- VGA has two common meanings in electronics: as a resolution it usually refers to a 640 x 480 pixel image, which is modest detail suitable for basic display or inspection rather than high definition; as a connector it refers to the analogue 15-pin video output long used on computers and monitors. Check which sense a listing means.
