Rails Connect Decoder – 21‑Pin Direct (8‑Pin Harness) – 6‑Function Decoder
This limited‑edition model, part number RoS‑218, is produced by DCCconcepts for the Rails of Sheffield range. The decoder is designed for DCC‑ready OO and HO locomotives and can be fitted using either a 21‑pin direct connection or an 8‑pin harness.
Technical specifications include a peak power rating of 1.1 amps (750 mA continuous) and six independent functions each drawing up to 100 mA. The unit incorporates self‑adjusting back‑EMF, support for coreless motors with a single CV change, and brown‑out protection to maintain smooth motor operation. The decoder dimensions are 22 mm × 16 mm overall; the 21‑pin version measures 23 mm × 11 mm × 4 mm, while the 8‑pin harness is 90 mm long.
Installation is described as plug‑and‑play for locomotives already equipped for DCC. DCCconcepts provides UK‑based customer service and technical support, and a full user manual and CV guide are available online.
