CNC (Computer Numerical Control) is an area that has seen explosive growth and interest from hobbyists. A wealth of information and software packages have been published on the Internet that have allowed many people to assemble their own machines and start accomplishing real work with them.
The whole CNC and robotics arena makes extensive use of the DB25 connector for I/O port connections, switch and sensor hookups, and entire machine control through the PC's parallel port. Regardless of the application, you'll find the BRK25M breakout board gives increased flexibility to your design by allowing fast installation, replacement, rework, and testing. When connecting to a parallel port, a BRK25M (with a DB25 Male connector) is typically used. However, if you need a DB25 Female breakout board, it is available here. A breakout board is sometimes referred to as a "transition module", "terminal board", "terminal block", "breakout box", "breakout adapter", "terminator", or "interface module".
There are a great number of software packages, both open source and commercial, that are intended for CNC control with the PC's parallel port. Some of the more popular packages include:
- Master5, Mach1, Mach2, and Mach3 by ArtSoft
- Turbo-CNC by DAK Engineering
- LinuxCNC EMC Project
- CNC ZEUS
- Indexer LPT by Ability Systems

Mounting Options
These products are available in two different mounting variants. Product numbers ending with -DIN come with DIN clips already installed and ready to snap onto 35mm or 32mm DIN rail. Product numbers ending with -FT have stick-on rubber feet installed on the bottom side, allowing for benchtop use or panel mounting. For panel mounting, we suggest 1/4" nylon standoffs under the mounting holes, and #6 screws.
