Hey Marc10x21mm. Was there any size given for thickness?.Although 9.5mm wide would have ideal this looks promising, especially for installs in small switcher locos and May also give us more room in other locos for bigger speakers too.
No thickness was mentiioned, but if it is thin, then it will only be so when using the Next18 connector as the other connections use an adapter board.Marc
If it is only available with a Next18 connector, it will be difficult to use it for wired-in installs that are often required for installing decoders in small models (like N scale). Even if there is Next18 pigtail adapter available, that will add quite a bit of thickness and overall bulk to the decoder. Better stock up on LokSound V4.
My thinking, as well. This could really impact N-scale installs, if the adapter is bulky.
Not just the Next18, but the flex-board it is attached to, and how we then get all the wires from it. And, will still need LED resistors, etc. Not saying this all won't work, just worried without having the physical samples to play with.I have looked for Next18 connectors to play with... never found any available for easy ordering (may not be looking for the correct type of unit, of course)
