Perfectly Plugged Electrical Installations – with WINSTA®

The WINSTA® Pluggable Connection System easily meets the strict requirements of building installations. The system provides simple pluggable electrical connections, making electrical installations fast, safe and error-free. This also applies to other applications, such as marine and railway systems, as well as industrial applications.

All Benefits in at a Glance:

  • Protected against mismating and maintenance-free
  • Push-in CAGE CLAMP® spring pressure connection technology allows solid conductors to be simply pushed into a unit
  • A wide product range readily meets all electrical installation requirements: plugs, sockets, snap-in device connectors, PCB connectors, as well as distribution connectors, cable assemblies and distribution boxes
  • Compact design
  • Components can be clearly printed on and color-coded to meet custom requirements

Practical Tips

WINSTA® in Building Installations

For Space-Restricted Applications:

WINSTA® MINI

The WINSTA® MINI family is ideal for pluggable electrical installations in confined spaces. Its compact design supports the trend of downsized components, including LED lights and electronic ballasts.

Advantages:

  • Conductor range: up to 1.5 mm2 (16 AWG)
  • Nominal current: 16 A
  • WINSTA® MINI special components for specialty applications (e.g., measurement, control and regulation technology) with custom printing
  • Compact pluggable PCB connectors are available with 4.4 mm (0.1732 inch) pole spacing

For Maximum Possibilities:

WINSTA® MIDI

The WINSTA® MIDI family offers the greatest diversity of components for fast, reliable and error-free electrical installations. This enables you to individually and flexibly fulfill the most varying requirements. Advantages: Conductor range: up to 4 mm2 (12 AWG) Nominal current: 25 A Two-wire connection per pole for loops or bridges Easily identifiable through optional customer-specific printing as well as intelligent labeling accessories Additional variable coding is possible Available in 2- to 7-pole configurations Pluggable lighting connection with the universal Linect® Lighting Connection System and WINSTA® Linect® T-Connectors

For Greater Power:

WINSTA® MAXI

The WINSTA® MAXI family includes high-current, pluggable connectors for power supply applications.

Advantages:

  • Conductor range: up to 6 mm2 (8 AWG)
  • Nominal current: 35 A
  • Minimize voltage drop over longer cable runs

For Maximum Flexibility:

WINSTA® IDC

The WINSTA® IDC family consists of flat cables ranging from 1.5 mm2 to 16 mm2 (14–6 AWG) and the associated modules that are compatible with WINSTA® MIDI and WINSTA® KNX Pluggable Connectors and provides power to raised-floor boxes.

Advantages:

  • WINSTA® IDC Supply and Tap-Off Modules allow connection at any location of the flat cable – one rotation per pole is all that is required.
  • Suitable for bus and power lines or for bus and power combined in one cable
  • Easy installation without line interruption due to convenient insulation displacement technology (IDC)

For Greater Diversity:

WINSTA® Boxes

The WINSTA® Boxes readily serve diverse applications. For example, WINSTA® Distribution Boxes support the control of several sunblind drives via SMI or the connection of DALI lights. The WINSTA® System Box provides a variety of customizable solutions for applications, such as power distribution, control and switching systems. WINSTA® Boxes are planned and manufactured according to customer requirements by our Project Service division.

Advantages:

  • Compact solution with pluggable outputs
  • WINSTA® Boxes allow centralized, clearly laid-out electrical installations
  • WINSTA® Distribution Boxes are also available for self-assembly
  • WINSTA® System Box: Install DIN-35-rail-mount components, such as circuit breakers, fuses and relays

Click and Done!
