Atlas #205 Connector Wired to Railpower 1370 Powerpack
Gary models HO and asks readers:
“I have an Atlas #205 connector wired to a Railpower 1370 powerpack to control my lights and accessories. Would there be any problem if I connected a 12-position Miniatronics Power Distribution Block to one of the 3 switches on the 205 connector, and then connected the lights and accessories to the PDB? In other words, would it be too much on one circuit if 12 lights/accessories are on that one circuit? I have a lot of wires under my layout and I’m trying to simplify things. Thanks!”

Hi As long as you do not exceed the rating of the power supply all will be fine, However saying that most power supplies have a safety rating of around 1% to 1.5% of their max amperage.Just make sure that the hookup wire is also rated to the amperage that you are using.
