Hi PJ,

I am talking about connecting the Key to the Development Board, it sticks out from the board in the air with
no support and the DB9 cable connector is quite heavy, so it can bend the Key and/or the pins.

So I made a short cable to connect to the Dev. Board, and then the Key to the cable, then the 
Key is connected to the DB9 and the other end of the DB9 to the PC. 

That way the Key can sit on the table next to the dev. board and not have to carry the weight of the 
DB9 connector end. 

The short cable is flexible and thus their is no weight bearing on the board or the Key and the slightly 
inflexible DB9 cable will not cause Torc or Bending on the Key or the dev board pins.
