The Most Intuitive Way to Wire

WAGO TOPJOB® S Rail-Mount Terminal Block is now available with a lever – pull the lever up, insert a conductor and push the lever back down. The ingeniously simple connection technology that has made WAGO’s 221 Series Junction Box Connector a popular all-purpose solution is now available for DIN-rail – as the newest member of WAGO’s trusted TOPJOB® S Rail-Mount Terminal Block family.

Conductors can now be easily connected and disconnected by hand in control cabinets – no tools required. The user benefits from simple and intuitive use, especially for in-the-field wiring: The terminal point is clearly marked by the open lever, which reduces the risk of forgetting terminal points when wiring or connecting conductors incorrectly. In addition, both hands remain free for wiring because the clamping unit does not need to be kept open with an operating tool. This convenience facilitates connecting difficult-to-bend conductors with large cross sections.

WAGO's rail-mount terminal blocks with levers are suitable for all types of conductors: solid, stranded and fine-stranded conductors. Like the proven version of the TOPJOB® S Rail-Mount Terminal Blocks with operating slots, the new lever-equipped blocks feature push-in connection technology. This allows the levers to remain closed while allowing fine-stranded conductors with gas-tight, crimped ferrules and a cross section of 0.75 mm2 (18 AWG) to be directly plugged into the unit in addition to solid conductors. With side conductor entry, the rail-mount terminal blocks with levers even facilitate connection of large, difficult-to-bend conductors.

At launch, WAGO is offering rail-mount terminal blocks with levers in the nominal cross sections of 2.5 mm2 (14 AWG), 6 mm2 (10 AWG) and 16 mm2 (8 AWG) – primarily for feed-ins in the most common conductor cross sections. These terminal blocks are available in 2- or 3-conductor variants. The field side of WAGO’s rail-mount terminal block is lever-equipped; a push-button or operating slot is available for internal wiring. In the future, lever connection will be extended to other products in WAGO's TOPJOB® S Rail-Mount Terminal Block family.
