The Aux-Box High Current DCC Appliance
Now with 12 solid state switches, including 4 rated at 8 Amps

The same flexibility as the standard AUX-Box, but with 4 additional switches each with a huge 8 amps of switching capacity.

We're used to Accessory decoders operating turnouts machines and certain accessories, but often, they are limited either because they cannot operate higher loads and often don’t have the output voltage required for the equipment we want to control.

The DCC Aux Box is designed to change this....

Imagine: Control low voltage layout lighting, motors, even turn track power on or off, directly with your handset.

Designed to function as a box of switches, but operate just like an accessory Decoder, it has no output voltage. Imagine it as a DCC operated old fashioned toggle switch.
You are now able to replace or replicate all those toggle switches on your layout fascia; Simply wire your accessories through the AUX-BOX and you'll be able to turn them on and off right from your DCC handset!
It can even be controlled d by your PC, or use switch addresses with the routing function of your controller, your imagination is the only limit!
The AUX-BOX HC has twelve (12) built in solid state electronic switches, (8 x 3 amp and 4 x 8 amp) so there are no annoying relay clicks or contacts to burn out, just silent, reliable operation. Each switch can be given its own address or you can control multiple switches simultaneously with the same address.
Gang up the switches by setting a few CVs and create your own SPDT, DPDT switches or even two way switch systems!

8 of the 12 individual AUX-BOX switches has a current rating of 3 amps, the remaining 4 are rated at 8 amps That’s more than enough to turn a areas of track on or off, so unused sound locomotives aren’t using up valuable booster power needed to run trains.
