Leads
which lead is which pin.
the lead colors in the standard order, and what RS-232 and CAN put on each pin. change any color, or leave pins unwired, in the configurator.

Questions
about the DB9 pigtail.
- can I order just one?
- yes, there's no minimum quantity, but there is a $40 order minimum. one 12 in (305 mm) receptacle pigtail comes to $27.68, so an order of just that is $40; add more and the minimum is covered. shipping is free (UPS 2-day). prices drop at 10 and 50 units.
- plug or receptacle — which one has the pins?
- the plug (DE09P064TXLF) has male pins; the receptacle (DE09S064TLF) has female sockets. pick the one that mates with the connector you're plugging into; both are priced above.
- do I have to wire all nine pins?
- no. the prices above put a lead on every pin, but in the configurator's rewire panel you can drop any pin, and you pay only for the wires you keep. an unwired pin's contact is still in the shell, just with no wire on it.
- what color is each lead?
- in the standard color order unless you change it: pin 1 black, pin 2 white, pin 3 blue, pin 4 red, pin 5 green, pin 6 yellow, pin 7 orange, pin 8 gray, pin 9 brown. any lead can be any stocked color, set per pin in the configurator.
- how is it made?
- each wire is tinned and soldered into its contact's solder cup with lead-free solder, then a hood goes over the joints, plastic or zinc, with 4-40 screws to lock it to the mating connector. every cable gets a continuity test.
- what wire gauges and lengths?
- 20, 22, 24 AWG UL1007 hook-up wire, any length, 5–48 in (127–1219 mm). the prices above are at 22 AWG unless a row says otherwise.
- how fast does it ship?
- it's built and shipped in 10 business days, then goes out UPS 2-day.
