Hello Everyone.

I got last week new switches for my modification project.
Here is the manufacturer's DataSheet of the switch:

Here is the result of the project:

You can see six cable coming out of the turnout motor; Two blue and one yellow are the ordinary motor steering cables. Green, Red and Black are meant for feedback.
Switch CONTACT RATING: 300mA @ 30 VDC is so low that only ordinary LED's can be connected direct. With higher load you have to use relays.

Here are three pictures telling you what I have done:

I have used Epoxy glue to glue switch on the base board. SuperGlue is too thin to make reliable fixing. Yo should use very small amount of glue.

Black wire is connected to common contact and other two connect to common depending the state of the turnout(and switch of course).

If your layout is digital and you have been longing for some kind of visual feedback from you hidden turnout, here is the solution.
You don't need to buy new switches if ordinary are in good shape, just remove welding and connect two cable. NOTE that using ordinary switches you need both ordinary switches, because there are only two contacts in switch.

Happy Training everyone

Regards

Jukka
