The Decoder Buddy V5 was developed for the 12 output decoders and include a couple added features.
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 V5 and V5B come with standard 2.2K resistors onboard.
The mother board includes
- One 21 Pin Decoder receptacle
- Two pairs of track input pads
- One pair of motor input pads
- One set of stay alive pads (U+, GND on the V5. The V5B has the “W” pad for a Power Pack)
- Two pairs of speaker pads in parallel by side
- 12 lighting outputs on a separable “small connector board”
- Lighting outputs A11 and A12 are replicated on the “motherboard”
