Hi,

I must be losing my Google search skills but I cannot find panel cut
out details for a female DB-25 plug.

By Female I mean the outer profile of the shell and not the pins
versus sockets. The panel cutout has to be big enough to clear that
outer shell and let the plug seat fully with the Male part.

Can someone please point me at a website that will have the cutout
dimensions?

Thanks

Dave

There's no real standard for a cutout- some are reversible and some
are not, and some have looser tolerance than others.


There's a cutout (on a panel) drawing here, but you have to register
and log in:

(reversible)

Here's another (non-reversible)

And a datasheet for a part with yet another design:

And a cutout-only drawing:

Lots and lots more info if you search electronics distributors for the
part datasheets (eg. Digikey).
