PCB007 1X 12 Position Power Distribution Board 2 Inputs 2 x 13 Outputs for DC AC Voltage New

good for smaller gauge wire

Needed to power several low voltage leds that are in structures on my model railroad. I mounted a couple of these to distribute power to these lights. They are sturdy and easy to use. I will probably purchase several more to distribute power to switch machines.

Works great for intended purpose

reliable DC connections for multiple units wiring . I tried the pushbutton type ; yes convenient but not if defective . I suspect poor quality control there. Never yet had a problem with the "screw-in" type . I'm buying more today for my highly lit-up layout . Satisfactory product .

The design of this product is straightforward and simple, just the way I like it. There were only two problems. Problem number one is that this product includes plastic standoffs that are not attached to the board itself. In my case one of these standoffs fell off the board as I attempted the install. Fortunately I happened to have extra standoffs around. But be careful with that. Problem number two is that this product uses a system where you PRESS the wire into the sockets and the socket "hangs on" to the wire. This is convenient for solid electrical wire, but it is bad news with awg 16 stranded electrical wire as there is no way to shove it in. I had to pry the flanges open in order to insert the wire. After that everything worked fine. But just be aware that you may have problems with larger gauge stranded wiring. Smaller sizes should not be a problem but 16 and perhaps 18 awg might be a problem. Otherwise I am completely satisfied. I am using this product for solar voltage sensing devices.

I wired nboth building and street lights on model train layout.

This distribution block works as good as the more expensive blocks. Easy to add power where several wires are located, makes for a very neat, easy to maintain central connection. It is more compact than the more expensive boards.

woks great
