Wago 243-508 Micro Connector, 8-Conductor, 6 A, 100 V, Yellow

The Wago 243-508 Micro Connector is a high-quality 8-conductor terminal block engineered for efficient and secure electrical connections in low-voltage systems. Featuring a compact yellow housing, this connector is specifically designed for applications where space is at a premium, such as in small junction boxes or telecommunications equipment. The integrated push-wire technology allows for the rapid, tool-free termination of solid conductors, ensuring a reliable and vibration-resistant electrical contact that meets professional installation standards.

Advantages

This micro connector offers significant benefits for installers looking to optimize space and installation time. Its compact dimensions allow for high-density wiring in confined areas, while the push-wire connection mechanism eliminates the need for specialized tools or screws. The design ensures a consistent and stable connection for solid conductors, reducing the risk of loose wires and improving overall system reliability. The distinct yellow color helps in identifying specific circuits or connection points within complex wiring setups.

Suitable for

• Telecommunications and signal wiring
• Low-voltage lighting systems
• Compact junction boxes
• Building automation and control systems
• Sensor and actuator connections

This connector is not suitable for high-voltage power distribution or industrial machinery requiring high current loads exceeding 6 A. It is also not designed for use with stranded or flexible conductors, as the push-wire mechanism is specifically calibrated for solid wire types.

Key specifications

• Conductor capacity: 8 conductors
• Rated current: 6 A
• Rated voltage: 100 V
• Width: 18.4 mm
• Height: 6.8 mm
• Connection type: Push-wire
• Color: Yellow

To use the Wago 243-508, simply strip the insulation from the solid conductor to the recommended length and insert the wire directly into the terminal port. The internal spring mechanism will automatically grip the conductor, creating a secure and permanent electrical connection. No additional tools are required for the installation, making the process efficient and straightforward.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the wire type is solid, not stranded
• Verify that the circuit voltage does not exceed 100 V
• Check that the total current load remains within the 6 A limit
• Confirm the available space in the junction box matches the connector dimensions

For optimal performance and safety, ensure that all conductors are stripped to the correct length before insertion. Avoid reusing connectors if the internal spring mechanism has been compromised or if the conductor has been damaged during removal.
