Decoder wire colors

[hotrainlover]

Mr. Bachmann,
What are the connections for the Bachmann decoder scolors?  Orange for M+, Black for Motor -, .........

I want to hard wire one of your decoders, but have always used Digitrax.  I looked in Products, for a reference sheet, but did not find a breakdown....

Thanks for the help.

Have a look at this file....all your colors are laid out in a chart.

WB,
Thanks for this help!!  I do not know why i could not find this information.  I just saved on my" train stuff " flash drive.
This was VERY helpful.

As far as I know, all decoders use the NMRA standard for wire colors when using the 8 pin.
