Little extras - large benefits

July 2008 Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors

Equipped with locking levers and strain relief plates, the Wago PCB connectors from the Micro and Midi multiconnection system are designed to withstand high mechanical stress.

Using the PCB connectors from the Wago multiconnection system, sub-assemblies can be connected in a maintenance friendly way. One hundred percent protection against mis-mating combined with individual coding options ensures safety even for complex wiring applications.

The safe locking feature offers additional benefits to the user. The female connectors from the Micro range of 2,5 mm pin spacing connectors are now available with optional locking levers, which when combined with strain relief by cable tie, provide a safe connection even in rough operating conditions.

Additional mechanical safety is also provided by the new strain relief plates of the Midi range of two-conductor female connectors with pin spacings of 5 mm, 5,08 mm, 7,5 mm and 7,62 mm. A cable tie is used to secure the cables to the plates that are fitted in the connector. The plates can be fitted retrospectively or directly at the factory and are available in different widths for 2- to 16-pole female connectors.
