There are four reasonable options you might want to consider: [1] Use a 2x13-pin [0.1"] connector, 25-conductor ribbon cable, a squeeze-on 2x13-pin IDC connector (to mate with the first connector), and a squeeze-on DB-25. Get you were you're going without any soldering (except putting the 26-pin connector on the board) and also provides an arbitrary-length cable extension. [2] Many PC-clone computers include an assembly which is just like the above cable, typically with 6" between the connectors. If you could find a PC place that would sell you one cheap, that may be the way to go. Parallel cables (26-pin box connector to DB-25) may be hard to find, but serial cables (10-pin box to DB-9 or DB-25) are quite common. You need to be aware, however, that not all serial cables are wired identically. On some of them, the pins on the box connector correspond to the following DB-9 pins: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 - On others, the pinout is 1 3 5 7 9 2 4 6 8 - To make things more bizarre, I have been informed that--just to make things more interesting--there's even another variation out there, modeled after the ordering of pins in a DB-25 serial cable. Nonetheless, if you can get pre-fab cable assemblies that meet your need that may be a good way to do things. [3] Some PCB-mount connectors have pins that are somewhat mushable; the ones that Radio Shack used to sell could take a fair amount of play on the pins if you removed a plastic piece that was holding them straight. I have soldered such connectors to 0.1" perfboard (leaving gaps in the perfboard every few pins so as not to force more than 0.05" compliance). If you don't need all the pins, cutting off the ones you're not using will make this method much easier. [4] If you only need a few pins, you can always use a solder-cup connector and just run the necessary wires to the board.
