At each end of a board there is a 6-way connector. Currently 5 poles are used - DCC+, DCC-, Turnouts+, Turnouts- and Turnouts common. These connectors are the type that come as a plug/socket pair - this is the female end. The next board will have an identical female connector and the two will be joined for service by a short jumper cable with male connectors on each end. This will avoid vulnerable, dangling connectors when the boards are moved around. |
