| 5 ft. #32 Wire |
N5032 |

Designed specifically for applications that require repeated
flexing such as voice coils, linear actuators, and robotics, this wire is extremely
supple due to it's high quantity of small strands and super "limp" insulation.
At 0.032" nominal overall diameter, the #29 wire is only 0.001" larger than
typical decoder wire, but instead of the normal 9 strands, it contains 51
strands of #46 (0.0015") copper wire. It will carry 600ma of current so it
is ideally suited for most motor power wiring in Z-Scale, N-Scale and HO. If more power
is needed in larger scales, just run additional wires in parallel. Perfect for steam locomotives which usually
place decoders in the tender (no more derails). The #32 wire is extremely
small for insulated wire with an overall nominal diameter of 0.023". It
contains 18 strands of #44 copper wire and will carry 250ma of current.
This wire is ideally suited for lighting applications that require flexing of
the power connections (truck pickups on rolling stock, crossing gates, bridge
lifts, etc. It is also well suited for some lower-current Z-Scale motors. The possibilities are endless.

Our hookup wire is packaged in 50-foot lengths on handy notched
spools to prevent unraveling on your workbench. This silver-plated solid
copper wire takes solder very quickly and will easily carry 300ma of current.
It is available in white, black and red and is excellent for wiring LED
lighting, small motors, switches and many hobby projects. It is very handy as
a durable intermediate connection between our Power Distribution Board (below)
and our fine #38 magnet wire (above) where a run of a foot or more is
required.
#38 Magnet Wire
This magnet wire
is ideally suited for devices that draw less than 35ma current. Manufactured
by Superior Essex, Inc., this wire's small size (about .0045" diameter
including insulation) allows it to be easily hidden or used as "prototypical
electrical cable in actual wiring situations (see photos). The
Soderon® insulation is quite durable and can be painted for further
concealment or required effects. It is easily stripped as part of the wire
tinning process. For easy use, we package it on a 2-layer bobbin.

Tiny Bridge Rectifier
Manufactured by Fairchild
Semiconductor® as their MB1S, this little bridge
rectifier is the perfect solution for lighting or other DC devices in N-scale
rolling stock running on a DCC layout. Using a very simple circuit (see wiring
tips), it will turn a pulsed DCC signal into DC to drive any device you might
want to use, up to a full 1/2 AMP! Suppose you wanted to power our 3.6-volt
2x3 Super LEDs
(our highest device voltage LEDs)...
no problem! Using a 12-volt source, this bridge could handle 75 of
them! If need be, the contact legs can be folded under the device to further
reduce its footprint .

Manufactured by Vishay Electronics and KOA Speer, two of the worlds largest
makers of thick-film surface-mount (SMD) components, these tiny resistors
provide the same power capabilities as their much larger axial-lead
cousins. We've greatly expanded our selection to include a wide variety of resistance
values in 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 watt sizes. The selection includes values
specifically suited for current
protection of our LEDs operating in either 9-volt, 12-volt, or 18-volt applications common
to N, Z and HO-Scale DC and DCC, as well as values to allow the "tuning" of
LED intensities for specific uses and projects. The Usage tables link
above provides a comprehensive selection guide and the Calculators link
makes custom tuning of LEDs quick and easy.
These resistors easily fit in the smallest spaces due to their
flat, rectangular shape
and miniature size. The solder pads on each end are pre-tinned for easy connection.
We also offer three different resistor assortment packs. A 9-volt pack,
a 12-volt pack, and a 18-volt pack. A detailed listing of their contents can be found by
clicking on the Usage tables link above.

Whether you're installing interior lighting in passenger cars,
marker lights on cabooses, flashing rear-of-train devices, or cab lights in
locomotives, nothing can be more irritating than watching the flickering that
occurs when your rolling stock's wheels travel over dirt or gaps in the rail.
Adding 500μf to 1000μf
capacitance to your lighting circuit minimizes, and often virtually eliminates
this problem.
Compared to typical film-wound capacitors these tantalum
capacitors have a much smaller case size for the same storage capability.
The N3100 is 100μf (microfarads) at 16-volts and is supplied
in either a 6-pack or 24-pack. The N3068 is 68μf
(microfarads) at 25-volts and is supplied in either a 10-pack or 40-pack.These
capacitors
can be "ganged" in parallel to achieve the amount of capacitance you need while
still fitting in very small spaces. The 25-volt capacitors are ideally suited
for HO power packs that exceed 16-volts DC, and most S, O and G scale power
supplies.

DC Power Source
And.., and... (before the drum roll stops) for those of
you who need a reeeeeally small bridge rectifier using schottky diodes for the
lowest possible voltage loss (important for analog operators), combined with
the industry's smallest 10μf multi-layer filter capacitor
(important for DCC operation), all mounted on a tiny (0.320" x 0.150" x
0.085") circuit board with handy solder points. But wait... there's more..,
it also has an additional solder point for direct connection of an LED plus
solder pads on the back of the board for the LED's current
protection/brightness control resistor. This module can rectify and filter up
to 200ma continuous duty. With 12-volts as a source, it would easily support
30 of our 3.6-volt 2x3 Super
LEDs, 8 of our Simulator modules with their associated LEDs, or 50+
of our red and/or yellow LEDs. It can handle up to 16-volts, so it will
support HO as well as N and Z scales.

These
handy snap-on battery clips will connect to any PP3 type 9-volt battery
(alkaline, NiCad, or Lithium). The snap connectors are nickel-plated steel for
long life and the posts are tin-plated brass for easy soldering. The posts can
be easily cut shorter for circuit board mounting applications.
Just like
its 12-volt brother above, our 18-volt supply is a highly regulated, switching
power supply complete with EMI/RFI filter and 6 ft. cord, and it also has
over-current and short-circuit protection. It can easily
power 225-250 white LEDs. Being 18-volts, it can easily power many 9-LED (red,
yellow or green) series strings.
NEW ITEM!
This power supply provides highly regulated voltage output so
your lighting or special effects won't get fried..
With a full 12 volts and 1.25 Amp continuous-duty output, its an excellent
power source at a very reasonable price. It can handle nearly any lighting
project and requires only minimal space. It can power
nearly 200 white LEDs (using series/parallel wiring). The 12-volt
supply cord is 6 ft. long and is equipped with a EMI/RFI filter to minimize
electrical interference. This is a true switching power
supply like the kind inside your computer. Unlike the "wall warts" (battery
eliminators) you can buy at any electronic parts store for $8-$12, it doesn't
use a transformer or have a simple two-diode circuit. And, it has over-current
and short-circuit protection.
