Wago 280-553 4-Conductor Sensor Terminal Block 2.5mm2 Grey

The Wago 280-553 is a high-quality 4-conductor sensor terminal block designed for efficient and reliable electrical connections in industrial automation and control systems. Featuring a 2.5mm² cross-section capacity, this grey terminal block is engineered for secure DIN-rail mounting, facilitating organized and professional wiring within electrical cabinets. Utilizing the proven CAGE CLAMP connection technology, it ensures a maintenance-free and secure contact for various conductor types without the need for specialized preparation like crimping ferrules.

Advantages

This terminal block offers significant time savings during installation due to the CAGE CLAMP technology, which eliminates the need for manual screw tightening or complex conductor preparation. The 4-conductor design allows for streamlined signal distribution, reducing the need for additional bridging components. Its compact 5mm width maximizes space efficiency on DIN rails, while the robust construction ensures long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation and control systems
• Sensor and actuator wiring
• Electrical cabinet organization
• Professional electrical installations

When it may not be suitable

This terminal block is not intended for high-power applications exceeding its 2.5mm² capacity. It is also not suitable for environments requiring specialized ingress protection ratings beyond standard cabinet mounting, nor for applications involving conductors larger than the specified maximum cross-section.

Key specifications

• Conductor cross-section: 0.08 mm² to 2.5 mm²
• Connection technology: CAGE CLAMP
• Number of conductors: 4
• Width: 5 mm
• Height: 80 mm
• Color: Grey
• Quantity per pack: 50 units

How to use

To use the Wago 280-553, mount the terminal block onto a standard DIN rail until it clicks into place. Strip the insulation from your conductor to a length of 8 to 9 mm. Open the CAGE CLAMP using a suitable operating tool, insert the conductor fully into the terminal, and release the tool to secure the connection. The spring-loaded mechanism automatically maintains the necessary contact pressure, ensuring a vibration-resistant and gas-tight connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the conductor cross-section is within the 0.08 mm² to 2.5 mm² range.
• Verify that your DIN rail system is compatible with standard 5mm wide terminal blocks.
• Confirm the quantity required for your project, as this pack contains 50 units.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and safety, always ensure that conductors are stripped to the exact recommended length of 8 to 9 mm. Avoid using damaged conductors and ensure the operating tool is used correctly to prevent damage to the clamping mechanism.
