Key Applications and Projects

• A/V Installations: Pulling raw, unterminated multi-conductor cable through tight wall conduits and terminating the VGA ends on-site.

• Rapid Field Repair: Snipping off a bent or crushed VGA connector and installing this replacement without needing to bring a soldering station to the site.

• Custom Control Systems: Using cheap, heavily shielded VGA cables for proprietary RS-232, sensor data, or logic control routing, easily broken out at the termination points.

Unlock New Capabilities (Project Evolution) The Custom Arcade Umbilical: Standard VGA cables are fantastic, heavily shielded 15-conductor wires that can be bought cheaply in bulk. If you are building a modular arcade cabinet or a custom flight simulator rig, use VGA cables to connect your button panels to the main brain! Use this male VGA breakout adapter on your control panel to easily wire up to 15 different buttons and joysticks. When it's time to move the cabinet, you can simply unscrew the single VGA cable rather than dealing with a rat's nest of individual wires!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

1. Is this connector male or female? This specific adapter features a male VGA connector with pins.

2. Do I need a soldering iron to attach wires to this? No, the board features two rows of green screw terminals, allowing for a completely solderless connection.

3. How many individual terminals are there? There are 16 terminals in total: one for each of the 15 VGA pins, plus one dedicated Ground (GND) terminal.

4. Are the pin numbers marked on the board? Yes, the pin numbers (1-15 and GND) are clearly printed in white silkscreen next to the screw terminals on the top of the PCB.

5. What is the maximum cable thickness this case can accept? The circular opening at the rear of the black case has a diameter of 10mm.

6. What are the overall dimensions of the closed case? When fully assembled, the case measures 62mm long, 34mm wide, and 20mm high.

7. Does the kit include thumbscrews to lock it into a monitor? Yes, it includes two long metal thumbscrews with black plastic knurled heads.

8. How does the cable stay secure inside the case? The kit includes a white plastic strain relief bracket and two small screws that clamp down on the cable jacket inside the housing to prevent wires from being pulled out.

9. What does "VGA 3+9" printed on the back of the board mean? The "VGA 3+9" text refers to a high-quality VGA wiring standard that utilizes 3 coaxial cables for the RGB color signals and 9 separate wires for sync and data.

10. What material is the protective case made from? The outer enclosure is made of rigid black plastic.

11. Can this pass a 1080p high-definition signal? Yes, this breakout board simply passes the electrical signals straight through. As long as you use high-quality, properly shielded cable and wire it correctly, it will support standard VGA resolutions.

12. Can I use this for non-video data transfer? Absolutely. Because it breaks out all 15 pins individually, it is highly popular for custom serial communication, CNC machine control lines, and sensor routing.

13. What tool do I need to wire this adapter? You will only need a small flathead or Phillips precision screwdriver to tighten the terminal block screws and assemble the case.

14. Are the screw terminal blocks removable? No, the green terminal blocks are permanently soldered to the printed circuit board.

15. Does the case snap together or screw together? The two halves of the black plastic shell fit together and are held securely in place by the internal strain relief screws and the long exterior thumbscrews.

16. What wire gauge is recommended for the screw terminals? The terminals can comfortably accept standard VGA wire gauges, typically ranging from 24 AWG to 30 AWG.

17. Do you provide a wiring diagram for VGA? Because proprietary cables often use different color codes, you must rely on standard VGA pinout diagrams available online and use a multimeter to check continuity on your specific cable before wiring.

18. Can this be used to repair a crushed VGA cable end? Yes, this is the ideal use case. You can cut off the damaged male end, strip the wires back, and terminate them into this block to save the rest of the cable run.

19. Will this fit into a standard wall plate? Because the plastic casing is 34mm wide and 20mm thick, it may be too bulky to fit side-by-side with other connectors on a tightly spaced multi-port wall plate.

20. Is this compatible with SVGA and XVGA? Yes, all 15-pin high-density D-subminiature (HD15) analog video standards utilize the same physical connector footprint.
