What kind of breadboard and prototyping board do I need to fit this right-angle DB25 connector?
I'm new to soldering and don't know what the standards are. Additional information on this subject would be helpful as well.

The pins are not on a 2.54mm pitch so you'll either have to get a breakout board as suggested below by @MichaelK (+1)or solder wires to the pins and stick them in the breadboard holes. If you only need a few (eg. Tx, Rx, GND) connections the latter may be easier than sourcing a PCB. You could use short bare wires or longer solid-conductor insulated wires.

@SpehroPefhany Best suggestion - also worth noting that using the thicker square pins in a breadboard can make that hole loose and intermittent if you later want to insert a thin lead like a signal diode. Take jumpers with pins intended for breadboard use, cut them in half - two wires ready made for adapting off-pitch connectors.

What you are searching for is a DB25 breadboard adapter, looking like this:
Website (example): Example
They also exist in a smaller (double row) format like on this website

As a note, these kinds of boards are fairly easy to make, but for some components can be a nightmare to track down. I recommend you invest some time in learning how to make adapter/breakout boards, it will save you a lot of frustrations down the road.

That type of staggered pins are more or less standard because they must also fit straight-through DB-25 footprints which are standardized, but you need a protoboard that is designed to hold them. This image was the first I found on google, but you can find them in all shapes and forms. This is for DB-9. Note the odd staggered part to the right:
Since the normal protoboard spacing is 2.54 mm while the DB-25 pin spacing is 2.77 mm, you need to search for a dedicated DB-25 protoboard. It could be easier to buy an adapter board which includes the correct connector, but have pins or screw terminals at a more convenient spacing.

Do breadboards exists for this pin spacing? Also, what is the correct spacing for me to look for?
