PCB Terminal Blocks and Pluggable Connectors for Power Electronics
WAGO’s range contains two PCB terminal block families for power electronics with rated cross-sections of 10, 8, and 4 AWG rated current of up to 76 A. These compact and high-performance PCB terminal blocks are easy to use and also offer maximum wiring flexibility. They are available in two variants, with or without lever actuation.
Advantages:
- Comprehensive product range
- Easy conductor termination via Push-in CAGE CLAMP® Connection Technology
- Wider conductor range and higher current carrying capacity
- Save money and space by using compact terminal blocks for large cross-sections and high currents
- Connect conductors both horizontally and vertically to the PCB
- Testing both parallel and perpendicular to conductor entry
- Large range of applications in various industries and applications
Surface Mount PCB Terminal Blocks
A compact and low-profile PCB connection is required in many electronics applications, particularly in luminaires for optical uniform light distribution, while minimizing shadowing. Surface mount PCB terminal blocks, with their combination of a flat design and wide application scope fully satisfy these demands.
Advantages:
- Push-in termination of solid or tin bonded conductors
- Low profile minimizes on-board shadowing
- Comes in tape-and-reel packaging for full integration into SMT soldering process
- Lower costs via automated pick-and-place assembly
