FROG Juicers

DCC Dual Frog Juicer/Auto-Reverser/Circuit Breaker

Can be configured to use as an automatic polarity reverser for two frogs, a reversing loop, a turntable, a wye, or a crossing.  It can also be used as a circuit breaker to control a power district (with the bonus it will reverse polarity if needed).  It uses the same basic design as the hex frog juicer but has 33 Amp transistors so it can be used with multi-unit lash ups and 10 Amp boosters.  Setup is simple, connect the input to the DCC track bus, and connect the output wires either to two frogs or two rails.  A jumper controls whether the two outputs act as a pair (i.e. an auto-reverser) or independently (i.e. a pair of frog juicers).  Another pair of jumpers controls the current set point for switching, either 2 Amps or 4 Amps.  When used for frogs or crossings generally 2 Amps work best and for an auto-reversing application, 4 Amps generally works best.

DCC Hex Frog Juicer

Can be configured to use as an automatic polarity reverser for six frogs, or a reverser for one to three reversing loops, turntables, wyes, or crossings.  Setup is simple, connect the input to the DCC track bus, and connect the output wires either to six frogs or rails.  Two jumper controls whether the two, four or six outputs act as pairs (i.e. an auto-reverser) or independently (i.e. a pair of frog juicer).  Should not be used with boosters over 10 Amps.  See the Dual Frog Juicer for 10 Amp boosters.

Circuit Breaker

Isolates a block to prevent shorts from affecting other blocks.

Perfect protection for Frog Juicers.

PLCC Extractor

Circuit Board Extractor, avoids bending the socket pins & damage through electrostatic discharge. 

DCC Mono Frog Juicer

This board is an automatic polarity reverser for a single frog.  Setup is simple, connect two wires to the DCC bus and one wire to a frog.  The frog should be fully isolated.  When a train crosses the turnout and the frog is the wrong polarity, the frog juicer will reverse the polarity so quickly that the train and the rest of the DCC system will never notice.  Should not be used with boosters over 5 Amps.  See the Dual Frog Juicer for 10 Amp boosters.
