Wago 750-960 D-Sub Fieldbus Connector, Grey

The Wago 750-960 D-Sub fieldbus connector is a professional-grade component engineered for reliable communication within PROFIBUS industrial networks. Designed with a robust grey housing, this connector facilitates secure and stable data transmission, ensuring that industrial automation systems operate with high integrity. It features an IP20 protection rating and complies with RoHS environmental standards, making it a dependable choice for demanding control system environments.

Advantages

This connector offers significant benefits for industrial networking, primarily through its two horizontal cable entries that allow for efficient input and output routing. The integration of the maintenance-free CAGE CLAMP connection technology ensures rapid installation and secure wire retention, which can be locked using an integrated sliding mechanism. Furthermore, the inclusion of an externally accessible switch for bus termination simplifies network configuration and maintenance, allowing technicians to easily toggle the termination resistor without opening the housing.

Suitable for

• PROFIBUS network installations
• Industrial automation control systems
• Data communication between field devices
• Bus line termination in control cabinets

This connector may not be suitable for environments requiring high levels of moisture or dust protection, as it carries an IP20 rating, which is not intended for outdoor use or areas with significant liquid exposure. Additionally, it is specifically designed for PROFIBUS protocols and may not be compatible with other fieldbus standards or proprietary communication interfaces.

Key specifications

• Connector type: D-Sub
• Housing color: Grey
• Protection rating: IP20
• Connection technology: CAGE CLAMP
• Cable entries: 2 horizontal
• Termination: Externally switchable
• Weight: 31.05 g
• Dimensions: 45 mm x 54 mm

To use the Wago 750-960, insert the PROFIBUS bus line into the designated horizontal cable entries. Utilize the CAGE CLAMP connection points to secure the wires, ensuring they are locked firmly using the integrated sliding actuator. When installing the device at the start or end of a bus segment, set the external termination switch to the ON position to activate the termination resistor. For all intermediate bus participants, ensure the switch is set to the OFF position to maintain proper signal integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network architecture requires a D-Sub interface.
• Ensure the IP20 rating is sufficient for your installation environment.
• Check the number of bus participants to correctly configure the termination switches.
• Confirm compatibility with your existing PROFIBUS cabling infrastructure.

For optimal network performance, always ensure that the termination switch is correctly configured based on the device's position in the bus line. Improper termination settings are a common cause of communication errors in PROFIBUS networks.
