Maximum Safety in the Smallest Space

The center locking lever and strain relief plate for WAGO MCS MAXI 16 Pluggable PCB Connectors offer safety in the most compact design.

The center locking lever, with and without strain relief plate, for WAGO’s 832 Series MCS MAXI 16 Pluggable PCB Connectors provides both maximum safety and an easy-to-use design, even in the smallest spaces. This makes WAGO’s solution the market’s most compact for locking PCB connectors within power electronics.
The intuitive center locking lever protects against unintentional disconnection of the connector – without additional pin spacing width, allowing the connectors to be placed directly next to each other. In combination with the strain relief plate, conductors are secured against pull-out forces. At the same time, the user has a solid gripping plate that makes plugging and unplugging the connector easier.

Your Benefits:

  • The most compact center locking lever on the market for pluggable PCB connectors for power electronics
  • Intuitive mechanism allows easy locking and unlocking with one hand
  • The strain relief plate secures the connected conductors and serves as a gripping surface to facilitate installation
