Terminal blocks with pushbuttons
March 2012
Electrical Power & Protection
Wago has launched the new 2060 Series of unique one-, two- and three-pole SMD terminal blocks. Equipped with integrated pushbuttons, the 2060 Series provides easy insertion and removal of all conductor types. A total height of just 4,5 mm makes it ideal for both LED applications and installation in low profile electronic components.
The terminal blocks are extremely compact and are ideal for surface-mount PCB applications. They feature CAGE CLAMPS connection technology, allowing easy and time-saving push-in termination of solid conductors.
Fine stranded conductors can be conveniently inserted via integrated pushbuttons. The design of the 2060 Series combines side entry wiring with top of unit, space saving pushbutton actuation.
Wago’s 2060 Series features extremely low profile and light colour housings that minimise on-board LED shadowing. The SMD PCB terminal blocks have 4 mm pin spacing and can be assembled without losing any poles. This greatly reduces the number of versions required, while minimising supply, inventory and production costs.
The PCB terminal blocks are supplied in tape and reel packaging for fully automated assembly. They accommodate conductor sizes 0,2–0,75 mm² (AWG 24–18) and are rated at 9 A, up to 320 V/2,5 kV/2 (overvoltage category II).
