Märklin 72022 Current-Conducting Close Couplers, 2 Pieces, H0

Unlike standard close couplers, the Märklin 72022 pair integrates electrical contacts directly into the coupling mechanism, enabling continuous power transmission between H0 vehicles without additional wiring between couplers. This design is particularly useful for coaches and wagons with interior lighting, tail lights, or sound functions, where reliable electrical connection is essential for consistent operation.

Highlights

• Current-conducting close couplers for H0 gauge (1:87)
• Pack of 2 couplers
• Integrated electrical contacts for power transmission
• Compatible with Märklin AC (3-rail) and DC (2-rail) systems
• Supports close coupling kinematics for realistic vehicle spacing
• Retrofit installation; soldering required for electrical connection
• Constructed from metal and high-quality plastic

In daily use

These couplers are intended for modellers who want to add electrical functionality to their rolling stock. Installation involves replacing existing couplers and soldering wires to the vehicle's electrical pickups or lighting circuits. Once installed, the couplers maintain a reliable connection even on curves and through turnouts, thanks to their close coupling design. They are suitable for a wide range of Märklin H0 coaches and wagons, and can be used in both analogue and digital layouts.
