Accu-lites
These are fantastic. Just finished a layout with 31 peco electro frog turnouts modified for DCC. The Accu-lites allow for easy wiring of the frogs using Tortoise switch machines.(5 wires per turnout). Also these Accu-lites allow for rapid rewiring if you get the frog polarity wrong. Finally if I want to add a signal at each turnout, I have 3 open connectors to allow for that. What a time saver!

Accu-Lites Snaps
Makes wiring or changing the wires easy. Especially if powering the frog and needing to change polarity or changing the turnout from closed to open.

accu-lites snaps
easiest way to connect wiring to the Tortoise. If wiring needs to be switch polarity easy breezy. The only negative is the screw terminals should be on the opposite side so you don't have to remove the snap to change wiring

Great product. Avoids soldering mistakes. Easily reversible. Love it!

Snaps are great
The edge connector for tortoises are good but very hard to solder to..The Snaps makes the edge connector terrific. The other good thing about it is that the wires connect the same order as if soldered.

Very convenient
These connectors eliminate any soldering. They are easy to use and work very well.

Eliminates a soldered connection and potential damage to interior components
Though a little pricey, I think this terminal connection is a good idea. It just snaps over where you would normally solder on a Tortoise Switch machine and replaces the solder connections with screw type terminal connections where you insert a stripped wire and turn the screw to tighten down on the wire. Its good for me because with my big hands and those tiny terminals to solder too I am either going to burn out a interior electrical component or melt one or more of the terminal plugs. So this snap on block will eliminate that worry plus make change out of a burned out tortoise switch machine as easy as a snap connection once the terminal block is wired.

Accu-Lite Snap
Very well built and easy to use. Will definatly will be purchasing more as I need them.

SNAPS are the way to go
Using SNAPS allowed me ease in making minor circuit changes. No soldering at all, just a thin flat head screw driver. If for some reason you need to make changes or swap out a motor these will save you $$$ and aggravation.
