Need Pin outs for PS2 3V Steam and PS2 5V Deisel and what size molex connectors | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Rob JohnstonOGR Forum Member

Again it may be in bad judgement but...

Am repowering a MTH PRR Decapod with a dead PS2 5V board with the compenents from a PS2 3V steamer. To complete this project I need the pinouts. I would also like to properly length the wiring without splices or wire nuts. so I need to know the correct molex connector sizes to purchase.

Used Railking locomotives typically can be sourced for less than the upgrade kits so I am being pennywise hoping my skills will prevent me from being pound foolish.

Download the PS/2 upgrade kit documentation, it has a schematic of the wiring.

Gr John,

Managed to find a color version of it, right after I posted the question...

What of the specs for the Molex connectors? any ideas where I can find that.

Thanks

They're not Molex connectors. JST-PH 2.0mm Connectors, matching pins at the bottom of each product page.

Slowly work the plastic plug sockets off the 5 volt board and slide them onto the 3 volt board.

Also, some heat to soften the 5V header bodies makes the job a LOT easier.

Alan, like I said, scroll down to the bottom of the page for any of the housings, you'll see this. Doesn't anyone read anymore?
