WAGO Push-button, Side-Entry Terminal Block Features Exclusive Internal Jumper System

Germantown, WI – October 2009 – WAGO Corporation’s 805 Series side-entry PCBs simplify wiring via push-in and push-button-actuated terminations. Available in standard 2- to 24-pole configurations, the 805 Series PCB blocks feature 3.5mm pin spacing for conductors AWG 24–16 and are UL/CUL certified at 300V/10A. The 805 Series also offers the industry’s only internal factory-installed jumper system for commoning, conserving conductor capacity in high-density applications.

The 805 Series PCB blocks significantly reduce wiring times via push-in terminations for solid conductors or stranded conductors with ferrules. Terminating stranded conductors is also simple: depress the on-unit pushbutton with a screwdriver to open the clamping unit, insert conductor and release. Conductor entries are 0° (parallel to PCB), and an optional test port provides hands-free troubleshooting with direct contact to current bar for accurate readings. CAGE CLAMP^®S ultra-compact Spring Pressure Connection Technology ensures terminations are vibration-proof, temperature cycling resistant and maintenance-free.

Ideal for a wide range of PCB applications including LED drivers, ballasts and building automation/control systems, all 805 Series PCBs feature staggered 1 solder pin/pole alignment for greater on-board stability and a maximized voltage rating. A THR version accommodates pin-in-paste/reflow processing.

WAGO is the leader in spring pressure connection technology that eliminates loose wires resulting from vibration and temperature cycling, while providing highly reliable, corrosion-resistant and maintenance-free connections. Products: DIN-rail, PCB and chassis mount terminal blocks; signal conditioners; the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM and more.
