DC power sources take control
Wago 787 Series power supplies provide a broad range of highly reliable, cost effective DC power sources for any industrial control application.
The range is suited to terminating connections inside RVs, office buildings, power tools, electric motors and high-end vacuum cleaners.
"The two-conductor is ideally suited to increasingly compact and complex applications where space is at a premium and just a two-wire termination point is needed", said Marketing Manager, Dean Norton.
The 222-412 is UL/CNL listed up to 600V/20A and can accommodate both solid and stranded conductors ranging in size from AWG #12-28 in the same unit.
Cage Clamp termination technology provides fast, easy and maintenance-free connections and a maximum temperature rating of 105C ensures that the 222-412 will reliably meet the requirements for a wide range of applications.
The 222-412 protects users against electrical shocks and employs an integral test point for testing/troubleshooting a circuit.
Splicing with the 222-412 is a simple, tool-free process.
Users lift the orange lever, insert the stripped conductor and lower the lever.
"The ergonomics of the lever-actuated wire termination are superior to those of traditional twist-type connections and will prevent wrist strain while saving time", Norton explained.
"For instance, consider the effort Lever-Nuts can save on large-scale applications, such as typical mid-level RVs that can easily exceed 125 splices needed per unit".
