StarTech.com IDC to D-Sub 9-Pin Interface Adapter

StarTech.com Interface Adapter, 115.2kbps Transmission Speed, 12cm Width - ICUSB232INT2

This Interface adaptor converts between an IDC connection and a 9-pin D-Sub serial port to support RS232 communications in industrial and embedded contexts. It is intended for integration where a compact, low-profile serial converter is required and where a lightweight module is advantageous for cable assemblies or confined installations.

Features and Benefits:

• Supports data transfer at 115.2kbps for fast serial links Operates across temperatures -10°C to +80°C for harsh environments Conforms to CE and RoHS to meet regulatory requirements Weighs 40g for minimal added mass in assemblies Uses IDC input to D-Sub9 output for straightforward wiring

Applications

• Suitable for embedded controller serial interfacing in automation systems Ideal for legacy RS232 device connection in production equipment Used with test rigs requiring Compact 9-pin D-Sub converters Can be used for panel-mount serial breakout in control cabinets

What connector types does the unit provide for system integration?

It presents an IDC-style connection on one side and a D-Sub 9-pin Interface on the other to link ribbon-cabled PCBs to standard RS232 cabling.

How Compact is the module for tight installations?

The adaptor has a low profile height of 1.9cm enabling fitment in shallow enclosures and behind panels with limited clearance.

Is the unit suitable for mobile or lightweight assemblies?

Yes, at 40g the module adds minimal weight, making it appropriate for applications where mass must be minimised.

What transmission performance can be expected for serial communication?

The device supports serial throughput at 115.2kbps, suitable for common RS232 baud rates used in industrial control and instrumentation.

What environmental range will the adaptor tolerate during operation?

It functions reliably between -10°C and +80°C, allowing operation across a wide range of industrial temperature conditions.
