Soundtraxx DCC Mobile Decoders MC1Z102SQ

SoundTraxx DCC Mobile Decoders – MC1Z102SQ are compact, non-sound motor decoders designed for smooth DCC speed control and reliable lighting functions in a square board format. The MC1Z102SQ is well suited for locomotives that require a small, self-contained decoder footprint where space or board shape is a consideration.

Non-Sound DCC Motor & Lighting Decoder

The MC1Z102SQ is a mobile (non-sound) decoder, meaning it provides motor and lighting control only. If you are looking to add onboard sound, explore Tsunami2 digital sound decoders, Econami digital sound decoders, or Blunami digital sound decoders instead.

Square Board Format for Flexible Installs

The square-board design of the MC1Z102SQ makes it a good option for installations where traditional rectangular or plug-in decoders are not ideal. This format is often used in compact locomotive shells or custom installs where board orientation and footprint flexibility are important.

Smooth Motor Control & Function Outputs

SoundTraxx mobile decoders are engineered for consistent motor response, smooth starts, and dependable low-speed performance. The MC1Z102SQ also supports lighting function outputs for headlight control and additional lighting effects depending on the locomotive’s wiring and lighting design.
