Roll your own connectors
It is frequently hard to find connectors that will fit in our mod-
els and have the exact number of pins for your installation.
Here’s how I handle it:
I build my own connectors. Not from scratch, but I start with
50-pin headers and cut them down to the size that I need. I put
polarizing pins into them by cutting them off the male side and
embedding them in the female side.These headers will handle
1-amp decoders and the appropriate wire.
When I owned Litchfield Station, I found a source for 50-pin
connectors that match the NMRA Nem-651 standard for
the small connectors
.
