The Decoder Buddy Mini was developed to fit into smaller steam and diesel applications.  there has also been interest in HOn3 and S-Gauge applications.    This mother board does not include the 21 Pin Decoder. This mother board requires soldering. These printed circuit board is  NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN A DC SYSTEM. Included with board are four axial resistors to be mounted remotely inline and are sized for LEDs. (2.2K) The mother board includes;  One 21 Pin Decoder receptacle, Two pairs of track input pads, One pair of motor input pads, One set of stay alive pads (U+ , GND and if necessary a third control wire ), One pair of speaker pads, Resistors for use with LED lighting. (separate axial 2.2K)  (Also available with 0 ohm, 750 ohm and custom specified resistors for function outputs. This accommodates some previously installed and "12 volt LEDs".)  It is IMPORTANT to realize that resistors must be used when LEDs are connected to the four lighting outputs of the Mini!!!  The resistors may be soldered in line when purchased or the included resistors may be soldered inline upon installation.  Remember there are different incandescent lamp voltage requirements and current draw that have to be taken into consideration also.  A single or two separate bulbs may work but multiple bulbs can be problematic.

This new board makes for super-easy 21 pin decoder installs from vendors such as Digitrax, ESU, SoundTraxx, and TCS! Now a 21-pin-friendly board replaces the standard DCC 8-pin loco motherboard and easily allows taking full advantage of all the functions and features of the latest new feature-rich decoders. The benefits of this new Decoder Buddy (DB) board include:
1. Popular 21-pin decoders from TCS, SoundTraxx, ESU and Digitrax easily fit in Decoder Buddy‘s 21-pin socket 2. 10-pin socket and plug with wire-outs for 21-pin decoder functions 3. 10-pin plug fully removable for easy separation of loco shell and chassis
4. On board resistors for LED lighting provided 5. Specifiable resistors for function outputs available on request 6. On board soldering pads for stay alive 7. Older 8-pin loco motherboard weaknesses solved with Decoder Buddy

Fits Most HO Scale Locomotives

It has a small footprint of 2.20" x 0.67" x 0.35" or 56 mm x 17 mm x 0.9 mm which makes for easier DCC decoder installation in the some of the tightest locomotives!

Connections for 8 Lighting Functions

 Depending on your DCC decoder manufacturer up to 8 lighting functions are available with amply sized soldering pads for your LED leads for easy decoder installation.  Specifiable resistors for function outputs available on request make retrofits of retrofits or bulb use even easier.

Perhaps you are familiar with this scenario: there is a digital decoder sitting on your workbench and you want to test it prior to a perhaps complex installation. But how to do this?

The Profi Decoder tester makes it easy for you: simply connect the tester to your command station or the LokProgrammer. It enables you to test any decoder without exposing it to any external factors caused by the locomotive that may influence its performance.

Features

In order to make things as easy as possible for you, the Profi Decoder Tester is equipped with some useful features. It has all commonly used interface sockets for connecting a decoder for the smaller scale models:

Besides a 6-pole NEM 651 socket and the 8-pole NEM 652 socket, it also has an 21MTC interface as per NEM 660, a PluX22 socket as well as a Next18 interface: No matter which type of decoder you have: Simply plug it in – it will fit! And that’s all there is to it!

Decoders without any interface can be contacted with individual terminals.

A quality coreless motor with flywheel serves in conjunction with LEDs indicating the direction for checking the motor output: Thus it is quite easy to check on the low speed performance and the even speed of the decoder. An LED monitor informs you about the functioning of the headlights and back-up lights as well as the function outputs AUX1 through AUX6.

For testing LokSound decoders we have integrated a 20 mm speaker. You may choose if the integral speaker should be switched off or if it should have 100 Ohm respectively 16 Ohm – thus the Decoder Tester is perfectly suitable for any ESU decoder generation!

Two SUSI plugs facilitate the direct test of optional SUSI modules as well as the connection to another circuit board.

The electrical connection to either the command station or the LokProgrammer is facilitated by a removable, 2-pole terminal block (same system as used on the LokProgrammer and the ECoS) or via two solder points.

Quick connection of your decoder, etc. for testing. These jumpers are good for about an amp of current, so be careful not to overload them. 5 colored wires with a clip on each end.
