Standard DIP rectifier in background
Fairchild's little powerhouse in front
Here's our bridge rectifier and one of our tantalum capacitors next to an
N-Scale Atlas caboose for size comparison. If the bridge terminals were folded
under the device, it would be smaller than the caboose's toolbox. The real
beauty of these miniature components can be appreciated in the following
scenarios:
- You have a piece of rolling stock that needs lighting but for whatever
reason you cannot or don't want to put your lighting components inside the
car. The extreme example would be an EOT device on a flatcar (there is no
"inside"). An option might be to try to hide stuff in the undercarriage. Our
bridge rectifier is easy to hide. In many cases, the capacitors, (wired in
parallel to achieve the amount of "flicker protection" desired) can be
strategically placed and painted dark for concealment. In the case of the
flatcar example, they could also be hidden inside a shipment load place on
the flatcar deck. With ordinary bridge rectifiers and typical capacitors,
this isn't even an option.

You've detailed out a caboose or great looking
maintenance-of-way item and want to light the interior to show off the
details. With our tiny products, it may be possible to hide them in the car
interior out of view and still see all the detail. With ordinary bridge
rectifiers and typical capacitors, this isn't an option.
