Anyone use one of these DB25 Breakout Boards?

I am planning 5 swappable panels and will be using the same method of DB-25 connectors. I used these: They are the same as yours, just a little more compact.

On the IPAC side I installed it in a projectbox as shown here:

I attached a DB-25 connector female to the box as well. That way I only need to use one cable attached to the cab at any given time.

For the LED-Wiz lighting, I will do the same treatment as I did for the IPAC however using DB9 connectors from here: http://www.pollin.de/shop/detail.php?pg=OA==&a=MjE5OTgxOTk=&w=OTk4OTU4&ts=20

BTW, I've already tested it all and it works great!

The ground on the board is probably tied to the aluminum foil shield on the DB25 wire (or something similar). Grounding the shield will block some interference, but if all you are using it for is on/off (microswitches), then the interference won't cause much of a problem to begin with.

The board you bought actually looks slightly bigger, and all the terminals aren't as easy to access as the first one - which, incidentally, looks basically like someone copied the overall desing of a GGG GP-Wiz.
