Perfect Pluggable Electrical Installation – with WINSTA®

WINSTA® is the pluggable connection system tailored to the high demands of building installation. It makes electrical installation pluggable to allow quick, easy, reliable connection. This is also true in other applications like shipbuilding, railway engineering and industry.

The Benefits for You:

  • Protected against mismating and maintenance-free
  • Push-in CAGE CLAMP® spring pressure connection technology for direct pluggable connection of solid conductors
  • A large variety of plugs and sockets, snap-in device connectors, PCB connectors, distribution connectors, pre-assembled cables and distribution boxes to meet any requirements
  • Minimum product size
  • Marking and color-coding for clear, customized component identification

Pluggable Electrical Installation

Simplicity is the Future

Pluggable electrical installation is cutting edge within modern building installation and is becoming increasingly popular. And with good reason: It is based on well-structured advanced planning and factory pre-assembly of cables and pluggable connectors. Thanks to this “plug and play” approach, all that remains is to plug them together at the construction site. That saves time, prevents errors and simplifies maintenance.
