Linect® – the Connection System for Lighting Installation

The modern connection system for lighting installation has a name – Linect®. Lights with a Linect® interface provide connections for both conventional field-wiring terminal blocks and pluggable connectors – regardless of the manufacturer. Modern, pluggable electrical installation with Linect® enables fast and easy installation of recessed luminaires with any pluggable connector systems.

Linect® system features:

  • Plug-and-play connections for fast installation of Linect® Lights
  • Compatible with all types of connections: conventional and pluggable
  • Assembly is just as fast as disassembly – even during operation

Overview of Linect®

Modern Lights Need Modern, Pluggable Connections

The open interface of the Linect® connection system provides a host of advantages: greater freedom for planning and enhanced planning security for projects using compatible Linect® components – from project conception and bidding to fast installation.

Advantages of Linect®

  • Freely choose an installation system (conventional or pluggable) thanks to compatibility with all manufacturers
  • Free choice of Linect® lights, regardless of their connection type or make
  • Simplified bidding thanks to separate bids for lighting and cable installation

Three Connection Types

Connection option 1

Pluggable Installation with WINSTA®

Connection option 2

Conventional installation via pluggable lighting connection

Connection option 3

Conventional installation directly at the lighting connector

Linect® Universal Light Connection System – Simplifies Lighting Manufacturing Processes

The Linect® connection system reduces the diversity required for readily available plug & play lights.

What that means for you:

  • Simplifies purchasing and manufacturing processes using fewer components
  • Reduces storage costs
  • Improves deliverability

Universal field-wiring terminal block for Linect®

WAGO’s Linect® 294 Series Lighting Connectors allow worldwide connection of luminaires via WINSTA® pluggable connectors or conventional wiring. For a conventional field connection, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-pole connectors for solid, stranded and fine-stranded conductors up to 2.5 mm2 or 12 AWG (2.0 mm ∅) are available.

Unlimited Freedom in LED Light Design

New Lighting Connection Box: A Connection Solution for All Installation Types

Increasing miniaturization and the popularity of flat LED lights require universal connection options. WAGO’s new lighting connection box offers the best solution because it is housed outside the light. This gives lighting manufacturers more design freedom. Additionally, no dirt and dust can get into the light during installation because it no longer has to be opened for the connection. The new box has ample installation space and is suitable for a large range of conductor cross-sections up to 5 x 2.5 mm². Regardless of how the project is installed, lights with the WAGO Lighting Connection Box fit into every concept – whether a pluggable building installation, such as the WAGO Pluggable Connection System WINSTA®, or a conventional installation type. The integrated Linect® Interface also contributes to this; a connector with a conventional conductor connection is also available for it in addition to the pluggable version.

The Benefits for You:

  • Perfect connection technology for very flat lights
  • Suitable for all installation types
  • Large connection space for conductor cross-sections up to 5 x 2.5 mm2
