Does Anyone Have a Project that Could Use Wago's Pluggable Tools-Free Connectors?

rscasny

imageI was speaking with WAGO who would like to some element14 members to use some of its pluggable connectors.

We first discussed a roadtest. In general, we don't roadtest connectors unless they are part of a larger eval kit. The timing for a design challenge for the remainder of this year isn't quite right as far as scheduling goes.

So, we thought we would ask if any of you would need their products for a project you are doing? If so, we would get some for you.

Let me tell you about the Wago pluggable connectors:

WAGO's pluggable connection system provides a 'tools free' solution for your wiring applications. The system includes seven product lines (2.5–7.62 mm/0.98–0.3 inch pin spacing) and terminates conductors ranging from 0.08 to 10 mm2 (28–8 AWG), offering a wide range of application possibilities.

imageFeatures:

  • Versatile pluggable connection system for continuous system wiring
  • Easy cable pre-assembly and on-unit wiring via vertical and horizontal actuation for the CAGE CLAMP® variants
  • Push-in CAGE CLAMP® termination of both solid and ferruled conductors
  • 100% protection against mismating that's easy to implement
  • Compact and versatile designs
  • Easy-to-customize coding options
  • Intuitive and tool-free lever actuation
  • Universal connection for all conductor types
  • Push-in termination of solid and ferruled conductors
  • Test slot 90° to conductor entry
  • 100% protected against mismating
  • Coding option available
  • Rapid in-the-field connections

If any of you have a project and would like to get some of these connectors, please leave a comment below.

    lol you tagged the wrong person! You meant to tag  and shabaz its their project, I am just excited to follow along on the sidelines!

  • in reply to scottiebabe

    But you packaged it up ?

    A pluggable tools-free connector would be great for this.

  • I just hate it when they don't have real datasheets.

  • I think that connectors are suitable for RoadTest. I understand that for example bare chips are not, but actualy very few vendors provide connector evaluation boards. Picking 10 connectors (differing in pin count, pitch, ...) from the family and giving 2-5pcs each for RoadTest is the best option I think.

    Datasheet is there 

  • Ya, I do have same personal project which is stuck and it will need these connectors.

  • Oooh!  Very nice.  Right off the bat, I would change out the screw terminals on MODBUS communicating remote annunciators that I use for training.  While it's not exactly what the technicians will see in the field, I want them to be able to focus more on the "logic" of the network and less on the physical act of connecting the wires.  I would use 6-position terminals - three per system (1x6 arrangement), and two 3-position connectors (ideally to replace a stacked 2X3 staggered Euro-terminal block). 2.54mm spacing.  I can provide pictures of the proposed applications, if desired.

    Looks identical to the one generated on the Wago website.

    LOL you will note I set the bar marginally above the noise floor. So no matter what the outcome I had fun and wasn't disappointed.

    Your good with mechanical things download the .step file and lets help lead Jan down the orange lever road to Wago Land.
