Even though it’s not a “Model Railroad” crowd coming over, it’s a good excuse to tidy and polish the Layout/Workshop/Office and get it spic and span for hanging out and socializing in. Yes I am aware there is a lot going on in this room! #ModelRailroadingIsFun #SatudayNight

NEM 660 / 21MTC Interface The NME 660 / 21MTC connector is an interface for multifunction decoders. Unlike the PluX Interface, the female connector is on the decoder.

A low profile interface gaining acceptance is the 21MTC. It was designed with sound in mind. Designed by #ESU for #Marklin, it has been adopted for DCC applications.

DCC Multifunction Decoder Lock Multifunction decoders can be secured to prevent inadvertent programming or utilized as a tool to configure multiple decoders within a single vehicle.

An optional feature is Programming Lock. When a multifunction decoder is locked it cannot be altered. This allows multiple decoders in one vehicle to share an address.

Solder and Flux for DCC Applications Flux is crucial for achieving optimal soldering results. The incorrect type of flux can cause damage to multifunction decoders, emphasizing the importance of selecting the appropriate flux.

Soldering & Flux: The correct flux for electronics is important! Wondering why the multifunction decoder's manufacturer will void the warranty if flux is used?

Soldering for DCC Soldering is the process of joining two metals together using a metal alloy called solder. It is often used in electrical devices.

Soldering: It's not hard. The right solder + rosin flux combination makes it work. An ESD safe soldering iron is a must for soldering on decoders.
