PCB Terminal Blocks and Pluggable Connectors for Power Electronics
For power electronics, WAGO's range contains two families of PCB terminal blocls and a pluggable connector system from cross sections up to 25 mm2 and nominal current up to 76 A. These compact and high-performance PCB terminal blocks - with or without levers - are easy to use and also offer maximum wiring flexibility. The MCS MAXI 16 Pluggable Connector System is also the world's first pluggable connector with a lever for power electronics.
Advantages:
- Comprehensive product range
- Easy conductor termination via Push-in CAGE CLAMP® Connection Technology
- Wider conductor range and higher current carrying capacity
- Save money and space by using compact terminal blocks for large cross-sections and high currents
- Connect conductors both horizontally and vertically to the PCB
- Testing both parallel and perpendicular to conductor entry
- Large range of applications in various industries and applications

picoMAX®: The Pluggable Connection System
One Cr-Ni-steel spring means double the contact force applied: This principle makes picoMAX® up to 30% more compact than other connection systems.
Advantages:
- Compact design: Reduces space by up to 30%
- Radically simplified contact system
- Special design, innovative spring pressure connection technology and new insulation material guarantee absolute contact reliability – even at higher ambient temperatures
- Very high vibration resistance up to 20g for wire-to-board connections thanks to integrated interlocking and nearly fully shrouded female connector in the male header
- Efficient testing via test slot parallel to connector entry
