The DP5-KAC is a HO-Scale direct-plug decoder designed for engines equipped with 8-pin NMRA sockets. By far one of the easiest decoders to install, the DP5-KAC can be plugged into many locomotives with no effort. The DP5-KAC has 5 available lighting functions, and has been tailored to work with Atlas Silver Series engines. This decoder will also fit many other engines with 8-pin NMRA sockets, including KATO and Athearn where additional lighting functions are needed. An excellent choice for engines with ditch lights!
The DP5-KAC includes a factory-installed 2-Pin Mini Connector with Blue and Black&White wires to use when connecting Keep Alive® devices with the same 2-Pin Mini Connector. Keep Alive® devices with the connector are designated as "KA(n)-C"
