SMPL DB9 Breakouts
This documentation covers The following part numbers:
Overview
The SMPL DB9 Breakout allows the total configuration of connections between a female or male DB9 connector to the 4 pins of our SMPL connector. This enables you to effortlessly connect any DB9 to any 4-pin SMPL device, expanding compatibility across your equipment. These Universal DB9 Breakouts utilize an array of solder jumpers to configure a SMPL four position push connector to any of the desired pins on a DB9. There are additional jumpers that allow you to connect any of the DB9 Pins to the case ground without utilizing a pin of the 4 position connector. We have recommended pinouts for many types of sensors in the SMPL documentation, so don’t forget to check those out.

- SMPL DB9 breakout PCB Assembly
Tool Requirements
- Soldering Iron
- Solder
Configuration
There are a total 45 solder jumpers on the PCB assembly. These jumpers are found in 5 rows and 9 columns where the rows (A-D) correspond to the pins of the SMPL push connector, and the columns (1-9) relate to the 9 pins of the D-Sub connector. The row and the column then describe the which two pins the jumper will connect when soldered. Multiple pins on the D-Sub can be connected to the same output pin if desired. The additional row of jumpers (S) serve to connect pins from the DB9 directly to the casing of the D-Sub connector.
