SE8C signal breakout board
Posted by NP01 on Friday, May 31, 2013 7:12 PM

One would think it would be easy to find a board on eBay which breaks out the 10 pin SE8C connector into 4x4 pin connectors for the signal heads.  The board is just a wiring board with enough dropping resistors. 

I will make this out of Radio Shack project boards but I wish anyone knew something I could buy? Time is short with little kids on my hands!

Phoebe Vet, Thanks, I looked at before but the description seems to indicate I will need to buy 1 board for each two heads. But looking at this now I might be able to do 4 heads per board by double wiring ... Now that I know Digitrax SE8C multiplexes using the common hi and common low lines. 

Jim, I did not see one I am looking for at LWH, they all break out that 44 pin connector. I already wired those using ribbon cables for the SE8C and fat ones for the BDL168. 

Thanks. 

NP.
