CABLE CONNECTION METHOD
Fig. 1: Wago connectors
The WAGO PCB terminal block is a simple-to-use method of
attaching cables to PCBs quickly and easily. Prepare cables
as follows:
•
Use only cable between 0.08 and 2.5 mm²
•
Strip the cable to a length of 5 to 6 mm (0.23 in)
The correct method of attachment is as follows:
1. Press down the relevant terminal block lever with a
suitable screwdriver;
2. Insert wire;
3. Remove screwdriver.
The procedure for detaching wires is the reverse of the 3
attachment steps, ensuring that
power is disconnected
before starting.
