Wago 282-687 3-Conductor PE Terminal Block, 6mm2, Green/Yellow

The Wago 282-687 is a professional-grade 3-conductor protective earth (PE) terminal block designed to provide secure and reliable grounding in electrical systems. With a cross-section capacity of 6mm2, this terminal block is specifically engineered for industrial and commercial applications where safety and consistent electrical continuity are paramount. Its distinct green and yellow color coding ensures easy identification within complex control cabinets and distribution boards, facilitating efficient maintenance and installation processes.

Advantages

This terminal block offers exceptional mechanical stability and electrical reliability due to its robust construction and high-quality materials. The 3-conductor design allows for efficient branching of grounding wires, which helps in organizing wiring layouts and reducing the number of individual connection points required. By mounting directly onto standard DIN rails, it provides a space-saving and orderly solution that simplifies the assembly of complex electrical panels while ensuring a permanent, vibration-resistant connection to the mounting rail.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation and control systems
• Electrical distribution panels and switchgear
• Grounding applications in commercial building infrastructure
• Complex wiring systems requiring reliable PE connections

This terminal block may not be suitable for applications involving wire sizes exceeding 6mm2 or for environments where specific hazardous area certifications are required that this model does not possess. It is also not intended for use as a current-carrying phase or neutral terminal, as it is strictly designed for protective earth grounding purposes.

Key specifications

• Conductor capacity: 6mm2
• Connection type: 3-conductor PE
• Mounting: DIN rail
• Width: 8 mm
• Depth: 93 mm
• Height: 32.5 mm
• Color: Green/Yellow

To use the Wago 282-687, first ensure that the DIN rail is properly installed and grounded within your enclosure. Snap the terminal block onto the rail until it clicks securely into place. Strip the insulation from your grounding conductors according to the manufacturer's recommended strip length, then insert the wires into the terminal openings. Ensure that each wire is fully seated and that the mechanical connection is firm to guarantee electrical continuity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 6mm2 cross-section is compatible with your specific grounding wire gauge.
• Ensure your enclosure has sufficient space for the 8mm width of the terminal block.
• Confirm that your DIN rail system is compatible with standard mounting dimensions.

Usage recommendations: Always ensure that the mounting rail is clean and free of debris before installation to maintain a low-resistance electrical path to the ground. Periodically inspect connections in high-vibration environments to ensure long-term stability.
