The difference is mainly the USP that is not integrated in the Silver family. All Silver+ locomotive decoders of the new generation are RailCom-capable; The RailCom function is already switched on. In addition, all Silver+ have useful ABC technology. In addition to the mini (one output, 300 mA), all Silver+ offer three functional outputs that can be resilient with a maximum of 600 mA. This 18-pin interface will replace the 6-pin interface (NEM 651) in the long term in models of sizes TT and N, since it offers significantly more connections with the same space requirement. As with the PLUX interface, the permissible dimensions of the decoders are also described in the NEM in addition to the electrical interface, so that you can be sure that the space required for the decoder is also availab.
