WAGO WINSTA® Pluggable Connectors Disconnect Under Load
Germantown, WI - March 2010 - WAGO Corporation's 770 Series WINSTA® MIDI and 890 Series MINI Pluggable Connectors are UL Recognized 600V devices for disconnection under load. This enables WINSTA® MIDI and MINI to serve as a safe means of disconnection for hot swappable components (e.g., small motors, LED drivers, pumps, or actuators). Its touch-safe design protects against hazardous shocks while disconnecting under load. WINSTA's preceding ground pin makes first and breaks last, ensuring a reliable system ground is in place when other connections are made or broken.
To earn certification, WINSTA® MIDI and MINI passed a UL1977-prescribed overload and resistance-to-arcing test mandating 250 mating cycles at 150% of rated current without electrical or mechanical failure. WINSTA® MINI obtained a UL current interruption rating of 5A/600V; WINSTA® MIDI has UL current interruption rating up to 10A/600V. Both ratings are exclusive to this class of connectors, and higher current ratings (up to 20A) apply for non-interrupting applications.
About WINSTA® Pluggable Connectors:
WINSTA® MIDI accommodates conductors AWG 20-12 up to 20A, the compact MINI for AWG 22-16 and up to 14A. Both feature 2- to 5-pole plug and socket modules for cord-end or snap-in panel mounting; various pluggable distributors (e.g., T-connectors, H-connectors); as well as distribution boxes. WINSTA® push-in terminations are easy, vibration-proof and maintenance-free. Additional safety features: touch-proof housings and connections that are 100% safeguarded from mismating - coding options offer additional project-related protection. Mated pairs utilize Positive Locking to ensure halves are properly connected.
WAGO is the leader in spring pressure connection technology that eliminates loose wires resulting from vibration and temperature cycling, while providing highly reliable, corrosion-resistant and maintenance-free connections. Products: DIN-rail, PCB and chassis mount terminal blocks; signal conditioners; the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM and more.
