DCC Booster board without the power supply. These boards can be used to make locomotive Power Districts or an Accessory District with a shared power supply. A jumper is used to set either Accessory Mode or Power District Mode. Each board can supply up to 3 Amps continuous duty and 5 Amp peak with a suitable power supply. These boards work very nicely with the Hex Frog Juicer. Max power supply voltage: 40V Power Connector: 5.5 mm (outer)/ 2.1 mm (inner) barrel plug, center positive DCC input: optically isolated, 5-24 Volts (voltage level on the DCC input pins has no effect on output voltage level), 25 mA load typical. DCC Connectors: Screw blocks Max output: 5 Amps for short periods, 3 Amps continuous Peak-to-peak output voltage: Power Supply voltage minus 0.8-1.4 volts (decreasing with load and independent of voltage on the DCC input) Short Trip Point: 5.6 Amps Short Trip Off Time: 1 microsecond Short Trip Recovery Time: 200 microseconds No Auto-reverse Board Size: 3" long x 2.5" wide x 0.5" deep (including heatsink) (76mm x 64mm x 12mm). Green blocks extend another 0.3" (8mm).

Contains PC boards and parts needed to build 4 fascia controllers with bi-color LEDs (3-lead type). The resistors and transistors are pre-mounted and the board tested.  An advantage of building from the kit is that you can mount the components on a control panel anywhere you wish and then wire them back to the PC board.

3-wire servo extension cable 12" (30cm) long, 24 AWG stranded wire.  Added to the 12" cord that comes with most standard size servos you can power a switch up to 2 feet from an Octopus or Quad Servo board. Set of 1 cable.

Pack of 40 male-female rainbow colored wires These handy wires have pre-crimped female connectors (F) that mate with the gold header pins used on many of our boards or male pins (M) that can fit in terminal blocks or act as extensions.  They come with square plastic shrouds that prevent accididental shorts.  You can get them in 3 varieties M-F, M-M and F-F.  The M-F are particualarly nice because they plug in to one another to extend for a longer run.  They come in rainbow colors with a repeating pattern of 10 colors.  A total of 40 wires come together in a bundle.  They are easily pulled apart so they can be used in groups or one at a time. They are 30cm in length which just shy of 12".

This is a nice way to mount servos for operating a semaphore blade.  The kit works well for both miniature (SG90) and standard size servos. The kit includes (8) 3/8" L-brackets and (8) #4-40x1/4" screws for mounting four servos. Servo is shown for illustration purposes. Kit includes 8 L-brackets and 8 screws.

3-wire servo extension cable 12" (30cm) long, 24 AWG stranded wire.  Added to the 12" cord that comes with most standard size servos you can power a switch up to 2 feet from an Octopus or Quad Servo board. Set of 10 cables.

Y cables are used to attach two servos to one output.  Both servos will move in the same manner at the same time.  Could be used, for example, to control a crossover or a passing siding.  Does not affect the servo power.  The Y can can also be used with the fascia controllers for the Quad-Pic to provide two control points for one switch.  Use one for a pair of servos and one for a controller at the same time and you can set up a passing siding with control points at both ends!

In-Line Servo Reverser You can often reverse your servo throw direction by turning it around or reversing the servo linkage.  Sometimes there just isn't room under a turnout to do this.  You can't reverse the servo direction by swapping wires since servos work by varying the pulse width and reversing the wires will just disconnect off the servo.  In cases where you want to reverse the servo rotation direction, this servo reverser comes in handy.  If you put this in line with the servo it will swap the two ends about the center.  [It works by mirroring the pulse around 1.5 ms which is the center on a servo.  I.e. if a 2 ms pulse is input, the reverser will output 1 ms and if a 1 ms pulse is input it will output a 2ms pulse.]
