## Summary description

Serial adapter cable DB9-IDC16/MERKURY by No name connects a DB9 serial interface (9-pin D-sub) to a 16-pin IDC ribbon connector. Intended for interfacing RS-232/serial devices, embedded boards or custom electronics where a D-sub port must be linked to a ribbon-cable header. Useful for diagnostics, firmware programming, or connecting legacy peripherals to development hardware.

## Long description

The Serial adapter cable No name DB9-IDC16/MERKURY — DB9 (male) to 16-pin IDC ribbon connector links a standard 9-pin D-sub serial port to a 16-pin IDC ribbon header. It is designed to adapt RS-232/serial signals between a DB9 male connector and a flat ribbon cable interface commonly found on development boards, legacy peripherals and custom electronic assemblies. The cable facilitates direct physical connection for data transfer, diagnostics and firmware programming where a D-sub interface must be routed to a ribbon-style socket.
Advantages
This adapter provides a compact, wired conversion between a DB9 serial plug and a 16-pin IDC ribbon connector without the need for soldering or custom wiring. The fixed cable assembly preserves signal pin order and reduces the risk of wiring errors when connecting serial devices, embedded controllers or test equipment. Its straightforward design supports quick setup for troubleshooting and firmware flashing on devices that expose serial lines via an IDC header.
Suitable for
Connecting RS-232 serial peripherals to development boards with 16-pin IDC headers
Firmware programming and bootloader access on embedded systems
Diagnostics, serial console access and logging for electronic devices
Prototyping and interfacing legacy serial equipment with modern hardware
Key specifications
Connector A: 9-pin D-sub (DB9) male, standard serial pinout
Connector B: 16-pin IDC ribbon connector for flat cable headers
Cable type: pre-assembled ribbon-to-D-sub adapter cable
Signal compatibility: RS-232 / serial signal levels (device dependent)
Physical form factor: compact cable assembly for direct connection
How to use
Plug the DB9 (male) connector into the serial port of the host device or adapter that provides the RS-232 interface. Align and insert the 16-pin IDC connector onto the corresponding ribbon-cable header on the target board, ensuring correct orientation of pin 1. Verify signal and ground pin mapping between the two devices before powering the system. Use appropriate serial communication settings (baud rate, parity, data bits, stop bits) on the host to match the target device during diagnostics or programming.
Usage recommendations
Confirm pinout compatibility and required signal levels in device documentation prior to connection. Avoid applying excessive force to connectors, route the cable to prevent strain on soldered headers, and disconnect power when changing connections to reduce the risk of damage. For reliable serial communication, use correct configuration settings and, if needed, a level shifter or converter when interfacing non-RS-232 logic levels.
