- Wide range of uses in various industries and applications
WAGO PCB Terminal Blocks and WAGO Pluggable PCB Connectors for Power Electronics
More Power on Your PCB
The trend toward downsized components presents new challenges for power electronics. The increased performance density brought about by combining the signal and output layer on the PCB also impacts connection systems. PCB terminal blocks and pluggable PCB connectors must be compact to reliably transmit currents while simultaneously functioning flawlessly with the PCB under demanding conditions.
Your Benefits
- Comprehensive product line-up, ranging from 0.2 to 25 mm2 (24–4 AWG)
- Push-in CAGE CLAMP® termination
- Wider conductor range and higher current carrying capacity
- Connect conductors both horizontally and vertically to the PCB
- Testing both parallel and perpendicular to conductor entry
PCB Terminal Blocks with Push-in CAGE CLAMP®
WAGO's PCB terminal blocks with Push-in CAGE CLAMP® (2624, 2626 and 2636 Series) are the ideal choice for connecting compact devices in space-restricted or panel feedthrough/through-panel mounting applications. Tool-actuated termination is performed parallel to conductor entry. This enables the PCB terminal blocks to be used easily, even with a high density of components on the PCB. Conductors can also be connected parallel or perpendicular to the PCB. Therefore, testing can be performed parallel or perpendicular to conductor entry. Integrated Push-in CAGE-CLAMP® Connection Technology enables both solid conductors and fine-stranded conductors with ferrules to be connected by simply pushing them into the unit.
Your Benefits:
- Compact device connection
- Ideal for panel feedthrough and space-restricted applications
- Operation parallel to conductor entry
- Compatibility with existing industrial solutions
- For applications complying with EN and UL 61800-5-1 (details upon request)
MCS MAXI 6
WAGO’s new MCS MAXI 6 Pluggable Connection System extends the power electronics family with levers. Accommodating conductors ranging from 0.5 to 10 mm2 (20–8 AWG), the MCS MAXI 6 Connectors have increased current carrying capacity, making them ideal for higher current requirements. Their intuitive levers allow conductors to be wired directly in-hand. MCS MAXI 6 is available with 7.62 mm (0.3 inch) pin spacing.
Your Benefits:
- Easy in-hand wiring via lever actuation
- Tool-free, intuitive lever operation
- Push-in CAGE CLAMP® termination
- Wider conductor range and higher current carrying capacity
- Wire-to-board and wire-to-wire connections
- 100% protected against mismating
- Based on UL 1059, both standard headers and female connectors can handle up to 600 V
- Mechanically reinforced via optional strain relief plates
MCS MAXI 16
The pluggable connection system with lever for power electronics, the only one of its kind in the world: The MCS MAXI 16 Pluggable Connection System with its innovative lever is ideally suited for your power electronics with a conductor cross-section range of 0.75 to 25 mm2 (18–4 AWG). MCS MAXI 16 is available with 10.16 mm (0.4 inch) pin spacing.
Your Benefits:
