The Multi Connection System (MCS)
For Continuous System Wiring
The MULTI CONNECTION SYSTEM (MCS) is WAGO's versatile pluggable connection system that provides industry-leading solutions for your wiring applications. The system includes seven product lines (2.5–7.62 mm/0.98–0.3 inch pin spacing) and terminates conductors ranging from 0.08 to 10 mm2 (28–8 AWG), offering a wide range of application possibilities.
Your benefits:
- Versatile pluggable connection system for continuous system wiring
- Easy cable pre-assembly and on-unit wiring via vertical and horizontal actuation for the CAGE CLAMP® variants
- Push-in CAGE CLAMP® termination of both solid and ferruled conductors
- 100% protection against mismating that's easy to implement
- Compact and versatile designs
- Easy-to-customize coding options
