Gender changer adapter DELOCK D-Sub 9 pin to D-Sub 25 pin, gold contacts, orange/silver

DELOCK gender changer adapter converts a D-Sub 9-pin connection to a D-Sub 25-pin connection. Both connector shells are metal D-Sub interfaces with gold-plated contacts to improve electrical conductivity and reduce corrosion. The compact inline adapter has an orange and silver finish and is intended for situations where a change in pin count or form factor is required between serial devices, test equipment and cabling.

Advantages

The adapter provides a straightforward mechanical and electrical transition between 9-pin and 25-pin D-Sub connectors without the need for additional cabling. Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transfer and increased resistance to oxidation. Its metal shell adds mechanical durability and EMI shielding, while the compact inline form factor keeps the adapter unobtrusive in tight installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting RS-232 serial peripherals with different D-Sub pin counts
• Linking printers, modems or legacy computers to older serial equipment
• Adapting test and measurement instruments to available cabling
• Temporary or permanent wiring changes in laboratory and industrial setups

Key specifications

• Connector types: D-Sub 9-pin (female/male pairing as required) to D-Sub 25-pin
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Shell material: metal D-Sub housing for mechanical protection and EMI shielding
• Form factor: compact inline gender changer designed for minimal profile
• Color/finish: orange and silver

How to use

Align the D-Sub 9-pin and D-Sub 25-pin connectors with the corresponding device ports and gently insert until the connector shells seat. Secure any retaining screws on the D-Sub housings to ensure a stable mechanical connection and to maintain shielding. Verify signal continuity and correct pin mapping before applying power to connected equipment. Use the adapter only with compatible RS-232 or D-Sub compliant interfaces.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, keep gold-plated contacts clean and avoid excessive mechanical strain on the adapter and attached cables. Use in environments within normal ambient temperature and avoid exposure to strong corrosive agents. Check that connected devices share compatible signal levels and pin assignments to prevent communication issues.
