The SPDT contact can be used to power a turnout frog, a signaling system, or a relay coil. Sprung ground throws are designed to be connected directly to the turnout taking advantage of the internal stainless steel springs. A shim to raise the stand to tie level and five different end fittings to connect to most turnouts are provided: hook end for Atlas, blade for Roco, hole for PECO, small round pin for Micro Engineering and round pin for Shinohara and others.
