All Digitrax decoders are rated for at least 1 amp for robust operation and long-term reliability. Available in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit in almost any locomotive, Digitrax offers both traditional wired decoders as well as plug n play decoders that make installation a snap.

    Digitrax decoders feature variable frequency Supersonic(TM) motor drive for quiet motor operation. They support all DCC standard programming methods. One-step decoder factory reset makes it easy to troubleshoot decoders. Motor isolation protection protects your investment in locos and decoders.

They also have operations mode read-back capability so you can read back programming information while the decoder is on the main line.

    Digitrax decoders are DCC compatible and can be used with any DCC compatible system.

    For HO applications, most modern high efficiency can motors draw less than 1/2 amp when running and less than 1 amp when stalled at 12V DC. These motors are suitable for use with 1.5 amp (DH163, DH121, DH150 plug n'play decoders), or 1 amp (DN142, DN121, or DZ143) decoders.

Note: Some older HO motor designs (older Athearn open frame motors, Pittman motors, etc.) may exceed the 1.0 amp limit and you may need to use a 1.5 amp. 2.0 amp or other higher current decoder such as the 3.0 amp DG380L in these applications.
