Power to the track, no soldering iron required. This pair of Peco connecting clips brings the controller's wires to the rails the simple way: attach the wires to the clips, press the clips onto opposing rails, and the layout is live. Nothing is permanent, nothing is heated — which makes them equally right for the first train set (where soldering isn't on the menu), the carpet Christmas oval (up today, boxed tomorrow), and the test bench (clip on, test a loco, clip off).

Completely Solder-Free, End to End

Even the wire-to-clip connection can skip the iron: Peco's PL-31 push-on terminal connectors fit the clips exactly, so the whole run from controller to rail is push-fit. Works on Setrack and Streamline Code 100 alike — anywhere the rail profile matches, the clips grip.

Clips or Joiners?

Two solder-free ways to feed a layout: these clips for instant, movable, tool-free power — the beginner's and tester's choice — or the PL-80 power feed joiners for a permanent feed built invisibly into a rail join, the tidier answer once the layout stops moving. Growing layouts often start with the clips and graduate to the joiners; the feed-little-and-often rule applies either way.
