What Are Terminal Rail Joiners?

Terminal rail joiners are specialized rail joiners with electrical wires already attached. They connect to the rails while providing a convenient electrical connection between the track and the layout's power wiring.

This provides an alternative to soldering feeder wires directly to the rail at the connection point and makes it easy to incorporate electrical connections while assembling the track system.

Designed for HO Code 100 Track

Atlas Item #M0842 is specifically designed for HO Code 100 track. Code 100 rail measures approximately .100" high and is widely used for HO scale sectional track, flex track and other model railroad track systems.

These terminal joiners can be incorporated into compatible Code 100 track arrangements wherever a convenient electrical connection to the rails is needed.

22-Gauge Wire

Atlas specifies these Code 100 terminal joiners with 22-gauge wire. The attached wire provides a ready-made electrical lead from the rail joiner to the layout's electrical system, simplifying track power connections during layout construction.

Add Electrical Feeders to Your Layout

Reliable electrical distribution is an important part of model railroad construction. Rather than depending entirely on electrical conductivity through numerous rail joints, modelers can add track power connections at appropriate locations throughout the railroad.

Terminal joiners provide a convenient method of introducing power to the rails. The attached wires can be connected to the appropriate layout wiring according to the requirements of the electrical system.

Useful for DC & DCC Layouts

Atlas terminal rail joiners can be used for track power connections on both DC and DCC model railroad layouts. Their primary purpose is to provide a convenient electrical connection between the layout wiring and the rails.

Additional feeder locations can be particularly useful on larger layouts where track extends a significant distance from the primary power connection. The appropriate number and placement of feeders will depend on the layout's size, track plan and electrical design.

Terminal Joiners vs. Standard Rail Joiners

Standard nickel silver rail joiners mechanically connect adjoining rails and maintain electrical continuity through the joint. Terminal rail joiners add attached electrical wire, allowing the rail connection to also serve as a convenient track power connection.

• Standard Rail Joiners: Connect adjoining rails and maintain electrical continuity
• Terminal Rail Joiners: Connect to the rails while providing attached wires for track power
• Insulating Rail Joiners: Create an electrical break between adjoining rail sections

Why Buy the 12-Pack?

ATL842 provides 12 individual packages of Atlas Code 100 terminal joiners rather than a single package. This makes it well suited for larger home layouts, club railroads, modular layouts, yards, staging areas and other projects requiring numerous electrical track connections.

Having multiple terminal joiners available also makes it easier to add additional feeder locations as a railroad expands or its electrical system is upgraded.
