Miller Engineering Signs

How about posting a photo. Mine all have connectors, so not sure what you are referring to.

Never seen any without connectors. Photos would help.

The flexible plastic sign has a tab at the bottom that contains around 6 electrical traces.  It plugs into the jack on the end of the ribbon cable from the sign controller board:

Just add batteries or alternatively, cut off the battery holder and splice in the red and black wires from the track power converter board (sold separately):

I  have 15 signs: on all I cut the connectiion to the battery pack and then use a wal-wart at 4.5V to power them.  a DC one since it's replacing batteries which are DC.

I'm trying to wire up Miller Engineering signs, how do you hook up the wires to their circuit board, I would think you need U shaped connectors, the smallest ones I can find are 22-16, they are to big to fit, are there smaller ones and I just can't find them? Dealing with small wires for electric trains can be nerve racking, I have small hands and fingers and I have trouble, I don't how you guys with large hands and fingers can do it!

I've got you covered - @Late To The Game!

I have several Miller Engineering signs.  Changing from  battery to electrical power is actually pretty simple.  Miller Engineering sells the AC/DC adapter (4803) and a power distribution board (4805).  you simply cut off the battery pack, and then connect the wires to the distribution board which connects to the AC/DC adapter.

Try Digi-Key Electronics - they have 18-22 insulated, U-shaped spade connectors. Part # 0190990014 is for red colored ones.

I have also had success in closing the U-flange and making 16-22's smaller by squeezing the ends together with a large pair of pliers.

Thanks for your help guys, finally found the connectors I needed.
