Aluminum Conductors
For our products, we use materials that have been proven in practice, some over centuries. Nonetheless, we constantly carry out further research and test new materials. This also applies to the contact paste that must be used to connect the aluminum conductors to WAGO spring clamps.

Material Specifications and Connection of Aluminum Conductors at WAGO
Overview of Material Specifications
Insulation Materials
WAGO primarily uses polyamide (PA 66 and PA 46) for housing current-conducting parts, as well as polyphthalamide (PPA) and polycarbonate (PC) for insulation material (see table). For more than 40 years, these materials have proven themselves in WAGO products and all are approved by certified, third-party agencies. The polymer materials listed are technically halogen-free and flame-retardant in accordance with IEC 61249-2-21 and do not contain any heavy metals, silicone, asbestos or formaldehyde as formulation components.
