I am looking for a RS232 breakout box so I can put scope probe on a Tx or Rx line

I am looking for a passive device that allows access to RS232 signals. I don’t want a UART.

Hi Cameron,

I’m not sure we have something like that. I found some breakout boards like 5536-MIF232-01-ND or 1528-5988-ND and 1528-6253-ND but not a full-on box kit.

Thanks for trying, but your suggestions all are evaluation boards for a various chips (like to change voltage levels). I only want to look at signals as they are.

Would something like: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/l-com/DJB9MF/21288285 work for your current hardware?

Yes - That is it. Thanks.

Here’s another possibility if you just want to use another connector.

ADPT-DB9Y

Here’s another one:

BB-9PCDT

Thanks. We will order one and try it. It may solve another half-duplex problem we have.
