Capacitor Discharge Unit MICRO DUAL MEGA CDU Hornby Seep Gaugemaster Peco Points
MICRO CDU
Our smallest ever high power Capacitor Discharge unit. Designed to work with point motors from all manufacturers.- Provides a high current pulse to "snap" points across positively from the 4700uF capacitor.
- Limits subsequent points current to prevent coil burn out.
- Prevents voltage drop to other parts of the installation during points action.
- Operates on AC or DC.
- Up to 20v input
Please note that PCB Pillars / Standoffs will be required for the circuit board. These fit into the 4 pre drilled holes of the circuit board. We have varies types available in our store
DUAL MK3 CDU
High power Capacitor Discharge unit. Designed to work with point motors from all manufacturers.
This is the very latest from our Capacitor discharge units. The all new MK3 version. The MK3 has the added function of the LED power indicator. This alone serves as two functions. It shows when the discharge unit is powered and ready for use.
The extra added function that the MK3 LED has is when the unit is switched off all other capacitor discharge units store power, if your model railway layout is kept in an out building or shed the power left in the units mixed with the damp can damage the units. The MK3 power LED will dissipate any reaming charge left in the unit within a few seconds making sure your unit is powered down and drained.
The duel MK3 has two capacitors with virtually 10,000uf which ensures fast responsive action when switch two or more points at any one time. This unit is also useful for larger scales or with points operating some distance from the control board
- Provides a high current pulse to "snap" points across positively from the 9400uF capacitors.
- Limits subsequent points current to prevent coil burn out.
- Prevents voltage drop to other parts of the installation during points action.
- Operates on AC or DC.
- Upto 20v input

With over 15 years of experience in the electronics industry Modelling Electronics are a professional, family run business for the manufacture and supply of a range of electronic components, switches and electronic circuits dedicated to the hobbyist. Our electronic components and switches are aimed at hobbyists such as, model rail / model railroad, dolls houses and electronic enthusiasts.
All our circuits are made by humans rather than assembly lines so that we can help growth by employing staff within the UK. By buying from us your are helping employment levels within the UK.
If you are interested in electronics or developing your own printed circuit boards we offer a number of FREE tutorials and projects which you can read on our website and also download a pdf version. We also have created a common frequently asked questions section to help users. This covers things like an LED resitor calculator, all about diodes and capacitors plus much more.
If you require access to these FREE tutorials please feel free to contact us or visit our website.
Due to the sensitivity of these circuits and components, (due to damage incurred by incorrect wiring) we can only accept returns and issue a refund once our engineers have fully tested and confirmed the component or circuit is fully working. We test each circuit before it leaves our factory, which is then verified by a senior team member and signed off. Please make sure you read our website for product data sheets and wiring instructions before you connect your component or circuit.
