Incredibly Handy: PCB Connectors with Levers

The world’s first lever-actuated connectors for power electronics It permits direct, in-hand wiring of conductors up to 25 mm² (4 AWG). This new MCS MAXI 16 family of connectors expands WAGO’s MULTI CONNECTION SYSTEM (MCS).

Two versions of the new pluggable connectors are available (wire-to-wire and wire-to-board), and each version offers variants ranging from 2 to 6 poles. All models are designed for a nominal conductor size of 16 mm² (6 AWG) with ratings up 1,000 V and 75 A (IEC). The connectors are equipped with Push-in CAGE CLAMP^® technology for all conductor types, allowing solid and fine-stranded conductors with ferrules to be simply pushed into the unit. The new lever-equipped MCS MAXI 16 Connectors offer a unique space-saving feature: Solid and fine-stranded conductors can be connected to the next larger cross section (25 mm²/4 AWG) beyond the nominal conductor size.

Wiring made easy through:

• Easy-to-use operating lever for tool-free terminations

• Internal coding without time-consuming adaptation of the housing profile

• Recoding even when plugged in

• Optional integrated locking latches prevent accidental disconnection

• 100% protected against mismating

The lever is incredibly user-friendly with clearly identified open/closed positions. When closing the clamping point, the force of the open spring ensures that the lever closes at low force. This ensures a secure connection of the clamping point.

• World’s first lever-actuated PCB connector for power electronics

• Easy and direct, in-hand wiring

• Designed for voltages up to 1,000 V and currents up to 76 A

• Integrated touch-proof caps for maximum user safety
