PCB Terminal Blocks and Pluggable PCB Connectors with Levers

More Power on Your PCB

The trend toward downsized components presents new challenges for power electronics. The greater power density caused by combining the signal and output layer on the PCB also impacts the connection technology. PCB terminal blocks and pluggable PCB connectors must be compact, transmit currents reliably and also work reliably with the PCB under demanding conditions.

PCB terminal blocks and pluggable PCB connectors with levers need to meet a huge variety of demands – including robustness under challenging conditions and ever-shrinking dimensional specifications for machines, systems and devices. WAGO offers a wide range of especially compact PCB terminal blocks and pluggable PCB connectors with levers, as well as products for power electronics. The levers make field wiring easy. Tool-free device connection is especially advantageous in confined or difficult-to-access installation locations. The clearly visible lever position provides extra security: If the lever is up, the clamping point is open; if the lever is down, the clamping point is closed.

The Benefits for You:

  • Comprehensive product portfolio from 26-4 AWG (0.14 to 25 mm2)
  • Tool-free wiring with lever connection
  • Push-in CAGE CLAMP® termination
  • Conductor connection both parallel and perpendicular to the PCB
  • Testing both parallel and perpendicular to the conductor entry

PCB Terminal Blocks with Push-in CAGE CLAMP® and Levers

PCB terminal blocks with Push-in CAGE CLAMP® and levers (2604, 2606 and 2616 Series) can be intuitively operated without tools via the levers. These terminal blocks, with their compact size, high current carrying capacity and their integrated connection technology, provide for faster and easier wiring. Lever operation provides a secure connection when the easy-to-use lever closes the clamping unit. The lever also clearly locks into position (open/closed) with a tactile and audible click. Conductors can be connected both horizontally and vertically to the PCB and testing can be performed parallel or perpendicular to conductor entry.

Advantages:

  • Faster and easier wiring
  • Tool-free, intuitive lever operation
  • Secure connection via easy and effortless lever actuation into closed position
  • Lever clearly locks into position (open/closed)

Handy PCB Connection with Pluggable Connection System

The pluggable connector family with levers for all performance classes: MCS MINI, MCS MAXI 6 and MCS MAXI 16 cover a cross-section range from 0.14 to 25 mm², providing a suitable pluggable PCB connector for every use – whether compact applications or higher power demands. The intuitive lever allows conductors to be wired directly in-hand.

The Benefits for You:

  • Intuitive, tool-free lever operation
  • Mechanical reinforcement via optional strain relief plates
  • Push-in CAGE CLAMP® termination of both solid conductors and fine-stranded conductors with ferrules
  • Coding and locking options available

Convenient Device Connection

With the 2601 Series PCB Terminal Block, even small cross-sections can be wired in the field without tools thanks to lever technology. This module is ideal for cross-sections from 26-16 AWG (0.14 to 1.5 mm²). Thanks to CAGE CLAMP®, solid conductors and fine-stranded conductors with ferrules can be connected by simply pushing them into the unit. The lever also works for all other conductor types, offering quick and easy wiring.

Field Connection with Levers

The MCS MIDI single-conductor female connector will soon be available with a lever for conductor cross-sections from 26-12 AWG (0.14 to 2.5 mm²) and 5 mm pin spacing. It boasts an ideal combination of high performance, compact design and convenient lever operation, providing the missing link in the connector family.

Greater Wiring Convenience

MCS MINI Pluggable PCB Connectors with levers and push-in connection offer greater wiring convenience for conductor cross-sections up to 16 AWG.The lever on the WAGO MCS MINI provides rapid in-the-field connections. The connector's design facilitates wiring subassemblies – easy-to-access and straightforward connection points make all the difference at the worksite.
