PCB Terminal Blocks and Pluggable PCB Connectors for Power Electronics

For power electronics, WAGO’s range contains two families of PCB terminal blocks and a pluggable connector system for cross-sections up to 25 mm2 (4 AWG) and nominal current up to 76 A. These compact, high-performance PCB terminal blocks – with or without levers – are easy to use and also offer maximum wiring flexibility. The MCS MAXI 16 Pluggable Connector System is also the world’s first pluggable connector with a lever for power electronics.

The Benefits for You:
  • ▪Comprehensive product range
  • ▪Easy conductor termination via Push-in CAGE CLAMP® connection technology
  • ▪Wider conductor range and higher current carrying capacity
  • ▪Save money and space by using compact terminal blocks for large cross-sections and high currents
  • ▪Conductor connection both parallel and perpendicular to the PCB
  • ▪Testing both parallel and perpendicular to conductor entry
  • ▪Wide range of uses in various industries and applications

picoMAX®: The Pluggable Connection System

One Cr-Ni steel spring, double the contact force applied: This principle makes picoMAX® connectors up to 30 % more compact than other connection systems.

The Benefits for You:
  • ▪Compact design: Reduces space by up to 30 %
  • ▪Radically simplified contact system
  • ▪The special design, innovative spring pressure connection technology and new insulation material guarantee absolute contact reliability – even at higher surrounding air temperatures
  • ▪Exceptionally high vibration resistance of up to 20g for wire-to-board connections, thanks to integrated locking latches and a female connector that’s almost fully enshrouded in the male header.
  • ▪Efficient testing of the connectors via test slot parallel to connector entry
