DB25 punch or metalworker in UK who can punch these?

DB25 connectors - great idea, horrible metalwork!  I need a cost-effective punch or to find someone to punch panels for me in the UK

An alternative I found might be to use these panels from Canford -  but they'll still need butchering to fit whatever panel they are going on

If anyone wants a few of these, the grey panels are £1 each right now.  But Canford delivery is £7.50...

Hi Nick,

Nice find. I just bought all 13 of the special offer ones at £1 each. By the time shipping and VAT was added is came to £25 which is about £2 each. When they come I'll post you a couple.

Cheers

They also have a 2U frame assembly for the modules (and other types of modules, XLR, etc..).

I use a similar part from penn elcom

CPC have them, order code EN55883, £1.34 each

And right now CPC is doing free delivery with no minimum order.

Hi,

Try to lasercut these. For punching you'll first need a stamp frame, which costs much.
If you still need, I could laser cut various types of panels, enclosures etc.

Kind regards,
Andrew
