Double-deck terminal strips

8 June 2011 Interconnection

WAGO is expanding its X-COM S MINI rail-mounted terminal block series to include double-deck terminal blocks with 3,5 mm pin spacing. They allow the user to connect two potentials through one terminal block to save space on the carrier rail.

The terminal block, combined with a two-conductor female connector, provides high connection density. The CAGE CLAMP-S connection used in these rail-mounted terminal blocks provides connection for conductors with ferrules by simply pushing them in – without the use of any tools. The individual female connectors can have additional mechanical security using a locking lever. As is the case for the other components of the X-COM S MINI series, these double-deck terminal blocks are designed for conductor cross sections up to 1,5 mm² and a maximum rated current of 13,5 A.

All of the terminal blocks can be marked using WMB labels and marking strips. Marking strips permit large-area and two-line marking, which provides a clearer overview and facilitates assignment in the control cabinet. The particular characteristic of the X-COM-S system is its combination of rail-mounted terminal blocks and connectors. This allows the use of approved and pre-assembled leads that make final installation quicker, easier and less prone to errors.
