This large-scale decoder has 8 functions, and can control either DC or AC motors. The function wires are on a JST connector harness. Power pickup and motor leads are heavier wire to handle the heavier current loads. In addition, it has a heavier blue wire to handle the needs of all function wires, including the three which have a one-amp capacity.
