InLine parallel slot bracket with 25-pin Sub-D socket / 26-pin socket, 0.5m

The InLine Parallel Slot Bracket 33225A 0.5m provides a 25-pin Sub-D female socket mounted on a slot bracket and a 26-pin female connector on a 0.5 m cable, enabling connection of a motherboard parallel header or IDE host interface to an external parallel port. The assembly is designed for reliable wired connectivity between internal headers and external devices where a parallel interface is required.

Advantages

The slot bracket offers a compact, low-profile solution for adding an external parallel port without modifying the chassis. The 25-pin Sub-D and 26-pin female connectors match common motherboard parallel and IDE host interfaces, and the 0.5 m cable length balances flexibility and cable management inside a desktop PC. Installation is straightforward and preserves the original header pinout.

How to use

Power off the PC and open the case. Align the 26-pin female connector with the corresponding motherboard parallel or IDE host header and attach it carefully, ensuring correct orientation. Secure the slot bracket into a free expansion slot on the rear of the chassis and fasten with the slot screw to hold the DB-25 female connector in place. Close the case and power on the system; the external parallel port is then available for connected devices.

Recommendations

Use the cable inside a desktop chassis and avoid sharp bends or tension on the connectors. Confirm pinout compatibility with your motherboard manual before connecting. Not intended for use while the system is powered—always connect with the PC switched off.
