Product Information
Full details
This Train Tech Pre-Wired Toggle Switch Terminal Pack (TTCON12) is designed for hobbyists and modellers seeking a quick, solderless connection for common switches. Its key benefit is simplifying wiring, allowing for rapid setup and modification of layouts and models. A caveat is that it is specifically designed for certain common switch types, so compatibility with all switches should be verified.

FAQs
Do I need to solder these connectors?
No, these are specifically designed for solderless connection. You simply push them onto compatible switch terminals.
What types of models are these connectors suitable for?
They are suitable for a variety of common hobbyist applications including Scalextric, Hornby trains, radio control models, and other general electronic model building projects.
How many connectors are in a pack?
Each pack contains 6 pre-wired connectors.
Can I use these for high-power devices?
These connectors are intended for low-power hobby applications. For high-current or high-voltage circuits, it is recommended to use more robust, appropriately rated connectors and wiring methods.
What if the connector doesn't fit my switch?
These connectors are designed for common switch types. If you experience a loose fit, your switch terminals might be non-standard or damaged. Ensure the terminals are clean and try to seat the connector firmly. If it remains loose, this specific connector may not be compatible with your switch.
Can I cut the wires to a shorter length?
While you can cut the wires, this will require you to re-terminate the end if you need to connect it to another component. It is generally best to use the provided wire length or use alternative methods for shorter connections if needed.
Troubleshooting
Connection is loose on the switch terminal.
Ensure the switch terminal is not bent or damaged. Try to gently spread the connector slightly or ensure it is fully seated. If the terminal is too small, this connector may not be suitable.
No power is flowing through the circuit.
Check that the connector is firmly attached to both the switch and the destination (e.g., LED, motor). Verify the switch itself is functioning correctly. Inspect all wiring connections in the circuit for continuity.
Connector wire feels fragile.
Handle the wires gently. Avoid pulling them sharply or bending them repeatedly at the connection point. If a wire appears damaged, it may need to be replaced using a separate connection method.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Saves significant time by removing the need for soldering.
- Ideal for beginners or those who prefer not to solder.
- Streamlines the process of connecting switches in hobby projects.
- Versatile for use across different model railway and RC applications.
- Reduces the risk of poor solder joints.
Cons
- May not be compatible with all types of switches.
- Wire length is fixed and may not suit all project needs.
- The connectors are specific to certain switch terminals.
- Not suitable for high-current applications without careful consideration.
- The pack quantity might be limiting for very large projects.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the common switch terminals your project requires.
- Ensure the switch terminals are clean and dry.
- Firmly push the pre-wired connector onto the appropriate switch terminal.
- Connect the other end of the wire to your circuit.
Compatibility:
These connectors are designed for specific common switch types used in hobbyist applications. They are generally compatible with switches found in Scalextric, Hornby, and similar model ranges. Always visually inspect your switch terminals and compare them to the connector design to ensure a secure fit. They are not intended for high-voltage or high-current applications.
Care:
- Store the connectors in a dry place.
- Avoid exposing them to moisture or extreme temperatures.
- When disconnecting, pull gently on the wire or connector body to avoid damaging the connection point.
