Locomotive adapter boards, suitable for "small" Decoder

ADAPLU

Adapter board for PluX-22 decoders; the decoder is plugged into the socket connector of the adapter board. Via large solder pads, the wiring inside the loco is very comfortable, whereby common connections (positive lines) for a variety of usages are realizes multiple times. The adapter board ADAPLU is equipped with a rectifier which relieves the decoder's rectifier and so produces less lost heat and performs better.

The adapter boards ADAPLU, ADAPLU15 and ADAPLU50 can be used together with all PluX decoders from the ZIMO programme which are equipped with a 16 V energy storage connection at the PluX interface (e.g. MS450P22, MS450P16, MS480P16, MN330P22, MN300P16).

ATTENTION: The ADAPLU must NOT be used with PluX decoders that do not have a 16 V energy storage connection (such as MX623P12, MX630P16 and MX648P16) !!!

These versions of the adapter board are equipped with voltage regulators for low voltage outputs with 1.5V or 5V. Servos can be supplied by the 5V output (the connections for control wires of two servos can be found on every ZIMO decoder). The low-voltage regulator can supply up to 300mA current

Combination
ADAPLU
or ADAPLU15
or ADAPLU50
+
MX645P22

ADAPLUxx + PluX sound decoder MX645P22 results in a
Sound Decoder with 1.8 A motor current, continuous

This combination works well for O-scale as an alternative to large scale decoders (although with less function outputs, low voltage outputs and other large-scale specialties).

ADAPUS

Adapter Board
for US Models
(Athearn, Kato,
etc.)

Adapter board for PluX16 and PluX22 decoders; the decoder is plugged into tje socket connector of the adapter board. Via large solder pads the wiring inside the loco is very comfortable.

The adapter boards ADAPUS, ADAPUS15 and ADAPUS50 can be used together with all PluX decoders from the ZIMO programme which are equipped with a 16 V energy storage connection at the PluX interface (e.g. MS450P22, MS450P16, MS480P16, MN330P22 and MN300P16).

ATTENTION: The ADAPUS must NOT be used with PluX decoders that do not have a 16 V energy storage connection (such as MX623P12, MX630P16 and MX648P16) !!

These versions of the adapter board are equipped with voltage regulators for low voltage outputs with 1.5V or 5V. Servos can be supplied by the 5V output (the connections for control wires of two servos can be found on every ZIMO decoder).

ADAPLUMTC

Adapter board
PluX22 to
21MTC boards

Adapter board for connecting PluX22 decoders with special 21MTC boards that require 5 V levels at the logic level outputs.

only necessary with certain 21MTC locomotive boards - e.g. Sudexpress Eurodual, Stadler BR 159, LS Models BR 120 or LS Models BR 184 (reissues as of 2023) - to use a PluX22 decoder (only MX633P22, MX635P22, MN330P22, MS450P22 - NOT MX645P22).

New revision C from July 2023:
RevC suitable for Sudexpress Eurodual, Stadler BR 159, LS Models BR 120 and LS Models BR 184. 16.8 mm x 19.5 mm (18 mm) x 5.8mm.

Revision B (RevB) suitable for Sudexpress Eurodual, Stadler BR 159 and LS Models BR 120. 16.8 mm x 20.3 mm (19.5 mm) x 5.8mm
