WAGO's rail-mount terminal blocks with levers are suitable for all types of conductors: solid, stranded and fine-stranded conductors. Like the tried-and-tested version of the TOPJOB® S Rail-Mount Terminal Blocks with operating slots, the new lever-equipped blocks feature push-in connection technology. This allows the levers to remain closed while allowing fine-stranded conductors with gas-tight, crimped ferrules and a cross-section of 0.75 mm² (18 AWG) to be directly plugged into the unit in addition to solid conductors. With side conductor entry, the rail-mount terminal blocks with levers even permit large, difficult-to-bend conductors to be easily connected.
In a first, WAGO offers rail-mount terminal blocks with levers in the nominal cross-sections of 2.5 mm² (14 AWG), 6 mm² (10 AWG) and 16 mm² (8 AWG) – primarily for the infeed and the most common conductor cross-section. These terminal blocks are available in 2- or 3-conductor variants. The field side of WAGO's rail-mount terminal block is equipped with a lever; a push-button or operating slot is available for internal wiring. In the future, lever connection will be extended to other products in WAGO's TOPJOB® S Rail-Mount Terminal Block family.
