I'm looking for a DB-9 connector with screw terminals or similar. I have to run an RS-232 cable through a conduit, and don't want to run a huge conduit just to accomodate the DB-9 connector. Specific suggestions please. The connector should be field terminateable without special tools, so no crimp-on pins or soldering. The closest thing I've found is B&B Electronics 9MHTBJB "9-pin to terminal block jumper boxes" (which I may use). Another option is the DIN-rail mount DB-9 to screw terminal converters made by Phoneix Contact, Weidmuller, and others, combined with a short jumper cable. The main downside of those is delivery (everybody has to order them from the US distribution center, with associated minimums and delays). Thanks, Eric M. Klintworth, PE Sharp Technologies, Inc.
