RR-CirKits FOB-C Dual Direct Drive Fan Out Board for LEDs

RR-CirKits FOB-C Dual Direct Drive Fan Out Board for LEDs

This board is specifically designed to terminate the dual cable, eight stall motor, connections from a single SMD-8 board. It includes on board jumpers to select common positive or common negative for optional single ended connections. This board may also serve as a convienient connection point for two flat ribbon cables used as inputs to the RR-CirKits ports. Quick release compression connectors simplify repeated connection of #18 and smaller wires.

All RR-CirKits Tower Controller I/O modules are designed to either be plugged directly into the TC-64, or else mounted in Tyco 3-1/4" Snap-Track® mounted to the bench work and connected with short ribbon cables. (Snap-Track® is a plastic channel designed to mount PC cards to a chassis, not something to run trains on.) This I/O module is equipped with two connectors to facilitate these connections.

FOB-C (Fan Out Board, Dual Direct)

The FOB-C is designed as a simple way to connect two flat ribbon cables to individual wires. The FOB-C board contains two each 10 pin headers and four 5 line compression connectors. Each compression connector has outputs for C1 (Common) and 4 of the input lines. The wiring on the board includes two jumper positions to select either ground or plus voltage for the common connections.

The output compression connectors used on this board allow connections with wire from #18 AWG to #40 AWG. For the smaller wire sizes or for stranded wires, first press back on the orange lever to release, then carefully poke home the wire. Release the lever, and gently pull on the wire to be sure that it was captured properly.
