ITEM NUMBER: NTZ2

The Decoder Buddy Mini was developed to fit into smaller steam and diesel applications.  There has also been interest in HOn3 and S-Gauge applications.

This mother board does not include the 21 Pin Decoder.

This mother board requires soldering.

This printed circuit board is NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN A DC SYSTEM.  However, if the decoder you are using supports DC operation it should work.

The Mini comes with three different sets of standard resistors 2.2K, 1K and “0” Ohm.  The dealers and distributors stock 1K versions unless otherwise stated.

The mother board includes:

• One 21 Pin Decoder receptacle
• Two pairs of track input pads
• One pair of motor output pads
• One set of stay alive pads (U+, GND and if necessary, a third control wire) If using an ESU ‘Power Pack’ we recommend A10 as mentioned below.
• Two logic outputs to control a Power Pack, smoke unit(s) or servo. The two logic output pads are 5 volt outputs with no resistors and controlled by A10 and A6 as labeled.
• One pair of speaker pads
• The correct headlight orientation is shown on the Mini.
