What you need, however, to emphasize clear, the advantages of the shown here WAGO terminals, compared to conventional screw terminals:
- The operation of the WAGO connecting terminal is indeed without tools and with little force simplest possible.
- The orange lever lock in the open position, and that is an advantage. And when re-closing the engagement is clearly perceptible.
- It can connect to a large cross-sectional area. Both rigid and flexible conductors can be connected without wire end ferrules or soldering.
- On the back of the terminal, creating certainty, the necessary length specified, which must be stripped. So the proper value can be set to an automatic wire stripper, and control, the stripped wire to the terminal are measured.
- Next are, compared to early Heren screw, WAGO connecting terminals protected against accidental contact when used correctly: Interesting for personal protection as operational reliability. Often you had to be very careful with screw-socket terminals, how all orders in the can to avoid possible short circuits. This concern is omitted.
- What is more, that individual conductors no longer bruised, deformed or are even destroyed. And some screw turned with heat even with, and then but had the insulation fixed with pliers, these are not damaged while the screw was tightened.
- The simple, quick make up and break electrical connections without damaging the conductors used makes the terminal interesting for experimental applications.
Mentioned advantages are a more complex construction of the terminal, which ultimately justifies a higher price compared to simple beschaffenen connectors.
Four stars instead of five I forgive because of contamination or wear state of the terminal is not apparent over conventional screw or the transparent WAGO clamps. Otherwise, these terminals from WAGO are innovative and very good processing properties.
