The Wago 790-116 shield clamping saddle is a high-quality component engineered for secure and reliable cable shielding within electrical installations. Designed to provide effective electromagnetic interference protection, this saddle is an essential accessory for maintaining signal integrity in professional control cabinet wiring and industrial automation systems. Its robust construction ensures a stable connection for cables ranging from 7 mm to 16 mm in diameter, contributing to a well-organized and interference-free electrical environment.

Advantages

This shield clamping saddle offers superior mechanical stability and electrical conductivity, which are critical for high-performance shielding applications. The design allows for quick and efficient installation, saving time during the assembly of complex control panels. By providing a consistent contact surface, it effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference, thereby enhancing the reliability of sensitive electronic components and communication lines within the cabinet.

Suitable for

• Professional control cabinet wiring
• Industrial automation systems
• Applications requiring electromagnetic interference protection
• Securing shielded cables in electrical enclosures

When it may not be suitable

This component is specifically designed for cables with a diameter between 7 mm and 16 mm. It may not be suitable for cables outside of this range, as the clamping mechanism will not provide the necessary contact pressure or secure fit. Additionally, it is intended for use in standard industrial environments and may require specialized housing if exposed to extreme corrosive conditions.

Key specifications

• Compatible cable diameter: 7 mm to 16 mm
• Width: 19 mm
• Colour: Silver
• Function: Shield clamping

How to use

To use the Wago 790-116, position the shield clamping saddle over the prepared section of the shielded cable. Ensure that the cable diameter falls within the specified 7 mm to 16 mm range. Tighten the clamping mechanism securely to establish a firm electrical connection between the cable shield and the mounting surface or busbar. Proper installation ensures that the shield is effectively grounded, which is vital for the suppression of electromagnetic interference.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your shielded cable to ensure it falls within the 7-16 mm range.
• Ensure that the mounting surface is compatible with the 19 mm width of the saddle.
• Confirm the environmental conditions of your installation to ensure the material is appropriate for the application.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, ensure that the cable shield is properly stripped and cleaned before applying the clamping saddle to guarantee maximum electrical contact and effective interference suppression.
