Doehler & Haass digital decoders
The German brand Doehler & Haass is well known for their quality small decoders. The PD05A beats all competitors with its unbelievable size. Even on the picture it’s hard to imagine really how small it is.
PD05A-4 Nano decoder
With 6 pins NEM 651
You would choose this because:
One of the smallest model train decoders known to mankind.
The smallest
The 6 pin is perfect for 009 Bachmann Quarry Hunslet!
29-7-2023 update: the 6 pin version is out of stock with D&H.
Features:
SelecTRIX 1 31 speed steps, 100 addresses
SelecTRIX 2 127 speed steps, 10,000 addresses, 16 additional functions
DCC short addresses (1-127), long addresses (0001-9999), with 14, 28, 126 speed steps
Load control of the latest generation, therefore particularly soft control behavior
Various control variants for optimum adaptation to the engine
Internally 127 speed steps
Adjustable motor frequency (16 kHz, 32 kHz)
Block section operation with simple diodes in digital mode
Light outputs dimmable
Shunting
Motor, light and track connections electronically exchangeable
Temperature protection
Reset function for DCC and SX2
Update capability of the decoder
New in this 2nd generation: Solder pads VS and GND can be used for as common (blue wire) or connection for condensator based Stayalive (not powerpack)
Can be programmed with virtually any DCC command station.
Dimensions: 5.0 x 7.9 x 2.5 mm.
Cable length around 145mm.
Driving characteristic values:
Compatible with systems: DCC, SX1, SX2. Does NOT support DC-analog.
Total load: 0,5 A
Max. motor current: 0,5 A
Max. driving voltage: 30 V
LV, LR (dimmable): each 150 mA
AUX outputs: none
For Bachmann Quarry Hunslet and other models with coreless motor, change CV settings according to the list on this page.
PD05A-3 Nano decoder
With 6 wires
You would choose this because:
DIY soldering installation of a tiny decoder.
Because of the small size of the decoder, the PD05A has some limitations:
Does not support MM und DC-analog
Does not support SX1 programming (though it is still possible through SX2 parameter programming)
No SUSI connectors
No function outputs (AUX), except for front and rear light
No extended function mappings (i.e. no conditions, no initial mapping etc.)
No automatic coupling process
No brake ramp
19-9-2023 update: Train-O-Matic has problems getting components for all decoders. It’s hard to get stock and no estimate re-stock date can be given at this time.
Train-O-Matic asks us the question, What more do you want? That is one bold tagline. But after dealing with the brilliant minds of this Romanian based company, I have experienced that they do live up to this as no other. If you have a user question or feature request for something you feel is still missing in the decoder, you simply send them an email. First of all, they actually answer their email. Every time I had a question, it was quickly resolved. And if you have an feature request they like, it will be integrated in a following firmware update. For that you don’t have to wait a year, as with some, but new releases are sometimes made daily. That said, the Train-O-Matic decoders are already pretty complete decoders, as you will see from the list of features below. So they challenge you to tell then how they can make it better. That all made me a fan.
I am proud to have become a Train-O-Matic reseller and their range of great products will in steps become available on this website.
