Wago 280-992 2-Conductor Terminal Block 2.5mm² Grey

The Wago 280-992 is a professional-grade 2-conductor through terminal block designed for secure and efficient electrical connections. Engineered for reliability, this component utilizes the proven CAGE CLAMP technology, which ensures a maintenance-free connection for various conductor types without the need for ferrules. Its compact design and DIN-rail mounting capability make it an essential component for organized wiring in industrial control cabinets and building installations.

Advantages

This terminal block offers significant time savings during installation due to the CAGE CLAMP connection system, which allows for quick and secure conductor termination. The design eliminates the need for complex conductor preparation, such as crimping, while providing a vibration-resistant and gas-tight connection. Its compact 5 mm width allows for high-density wiring, maximizing space efficiency within control panels and electrical enclosures.

Suitable for

• Industrial control cabinet wiring
• Building electrical installations
• Potential distribution tasks
• Classic through-wiring applications

When it may not be suitable

This terminal block is not intended for use with conductors exceeding the specified 2.5 mm² cross-section capacity. It is also not suitable for applications requiring direct plug-in connections without the use of an operating tool, as this specific model requires a tool for conductor insertion and release.

Key specifications

• Conductor cross-section: 0.08 mm² to 2.5 mm²
• Connection technology: CAGE CLAMP
• Width: 5 mm
• Height: 53 mm
• Mounting type: DIN-rail
• Strip length: 8 mm to 9 mm

How to use

To use the terminal block, first ensure the conductor is stripped to a length of 8 to 9 mm. Insert an appropriate operating tool into the designated slot to open the clamping unit. Once the clamp is open, insert the conductor fully into the terminal point. Remove the operating tool to allow the CAGE CLAMP to secure the wire firmly in place. The connection is then ready for use without further maintenance.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the conductor cross-section falls within the 0.08 mm² to 2.5 mm² range.
• Verify that you have the necessary operating tool for installation.
• Confirm the available space on your DIN-rail for the 5 mm wide units.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and safety, always ensure that the conductor is 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.
