Wago 280-916 2-Conductor Terminal Block, 2.5mm², Grey

The Wago 280-916 is a professional-grade 2-conductor terminal block engineered for secure and efficient electrical circuit distribution. Designed for a 2.5mm² cross-section, this component provides a reliable connection point for industrial control cabinets, automation systems, and general electrical installations. Its compact grey housing is built to withstand demanding environments while maintaining consistent electrical contact and long-term mechanical stability.

Advantages

This terminal block offers exceptional reliability through its advanced spring-pressure connection technology, which ensures that wires remain securely fastened even under conditions of vibration or thermal expansion. The design facilitates rapid and tool-efficient wiring, significantly reducing installation time compared to traditional screw-type terminals. Its compact dimensions allow for high-density mounting on DIN rails, optimizing space within control panels and electrical enclosures.

Suitable for

• Industrial control cabinet wiring
• Automation and process control systems
• General electrical distribution circuits
• Modular panel building

When it may not be suitable

This terminal block is not intended for high-current applications exceeding its rated capacity or for use with conductors significantly larger than 2.5mm². It is also not suitable for direct outdoor exposure without a protective enclosure or for environments with extreme corrosive agents that could compromise the metal contacts.

Key specifications

• Conductor capacity: 2.5mm²
• Number of connection points: 2
• Width: 5 mm
• Depth: 53 mm
• Height: 28 mm
• Color: Grey

How to use

To use the Wago 280-916, mount the terminal block onto a standard DIN rail until it clicks into place. Strip the insulation from your conductor to the recommended length and insert the wire into the clamping unit. The spring-loaded mechanism automatically secures the wire, ensuring a gas-tight and vibration-resistant connection without the need for manual tightening.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 2.5mm² capacity matches your wire gauge requirements.
• Verify that the 5mm width fits your existing DIN rail layout.
• Confirm the total number of connection points required for your specific circuit design.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and safety, always ensure that wires are stripped to the correct length and fully inserted into the terminal. Regularly inspect connections in high-vibration environments to maintain system integrity.
