PCB Terminal Blocks Offer Alternative Connections



Germantown, WI, March 2002 - WAGO Corporation's 253 Series printed circuit board terminal blocks provide several conductor connection positions. The compact, 253 Series PCB blocks feature two push wire connections, one parallel to the PCB, the other perpendicular.

Installers now have a greater variety of installation options to best suit their specific application. The design of the 253 Series offers an alternative connection possibility, should the primary connection not be accessible due to installation requirements. Boards with different arrangements are not needed, cutting production and storage costs.

The second connection also allows the electrical potential to be looped without the need for additional terminal blocks. Solid conductors with a cross section from 20-16 AWG can be connected. The 253 Series is rated at 500V, and carries a load current of 10A. The pin spacing is 5 mm.

WAGO is the worldwide leader in spring pressure termination technology. Since it was formed in 1951, WAGO's core business has been the design, manufacture and marketing of an increasingly wide range of highly innovative terminal blocks and connectors featuring the company's unique Cage-Clamp connection technology. WAGO also specializes in DIN rail mounted fieldbus independent I/O systems, custom electronics and factory automation products.
