THREE WAYS TO WIRE WITH ADDITION OF
LEVER AND PUSH-BUTTON TERMINAL BLOCKS
Interconnection specialist WAGO introduces
push-button and lever-actuated variants
to its TOPJOB S® terminal block family.
Integrators can now choose between
push-button, lever and push-in connection
methods for additional flexibility on DIN rail
installations.
The lever-actuated variant, a world first from
WAGO, is equipped with a lever on the field
side, and a push-button or operating tool-
actuated connection on the factory side. The
clamping point on the field side is opened
and closed by hand using the lever, allowing
installers to tell at a glance which wires in an
assembly are terminated. The lever can also
be left open, freeing both hands to connect
difficult-to-bend conductors with large cross
sections.
Versions are available for nominal cross-
sections of 2.5 mm², 6 mm² and 16 mm², and
in 2- or 3-conductor configurations.
The clamping point of the push-button
mechanism is opened with any screwdriver
or similar operating tool. Feed-through
terminal blocks with push-buttons are
70
PECM Issue 35
available for wire with a cross-section
between 0.14 to 25 mm². The push-button
terminal block is available in 2-, 3- or
4-conductor variants, which allow push-
in connection of solid, seven strand and
ferruled conductors.
Both the push button and lever actuators are
orange in colour, making them clearly visible
for easy identification.
All TOPJOB S rail mounted terminal blocks
feature Push-In CAGE CLAMP® spring
pressure connection, which is 50 percent
quicker to wire compared to screws, and
immune to loosening over time. The
terminal blocks are also resistant to vibration
and overcurrent, and free from maintenance,
eliminating the need to periodically check
and tighten loose connections while
improving overall reliability.
