Unlimited Automation in Extreme Environments – the New WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750 XTR

We automate where others capitulate: The WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750 XTR not only stands out in extreme temperature environments of -40 °C to +70 °C. Its high impulse-voltage withstand also makes XTR the efficient and reliable solution for energy and process technologies.

XTR – is our abbreviation for extreme protection against climatic influences, vibration, impacts and surge voltages. These conditions occur primarily in places in which technology is exposed to weather conditions, for example in the sector of renewable energy sources such as wind power, photovoltaic plants or in transformer stations. The automation systems used in these sectors often require additional and expensive protection features to “defy” the climatic and mechanical forces at work on them.

XTR can be used without any additional measures, thus reducing the space requirements on the DIN rail, while reducing energy and maintenance costs and enhancing productivity. All of these features make the XTR the perfect “all-in-one” solution for feed-in management and monitoring of power distribution grids.

Introducing the ILME CSH series of inserts “SQUICH” Connections without tools!

Cabling time : 50% quicker than the screw-type connection and 20% quicker than the conventional spring-type connection, and CSH connector inserts can be mated with the corresponding inserts of series CNE, CSE, CCE, CTE, CTSE, CN, CT and CSS.

The CSH series "SQUICH" offers the following advantages:

• Reduced cabling time
• No need for tools
• Quick identification of cabled and non-cabled terminals
• Terminals already opened for conductor clamping
• Possibly to use wires with or without femaile of up to 2.5mm²

Each of the spring terminals has an actuator button incorporated in the cavity. When this button is pressed with a finger, it triggers the closure of the spring device of the corresponding terminal, safely and reliably connecting the conductor to its respective electric contact in the connector. To reopen the terminals, simply insert the tip of a common 0.5 x 3mm flat blade screwdriver in the pocket on the actuator, and using a levering motion, gently press the screwdrivers downwards. This will lift up the actuator back to the “open terminal” position. ILME CSH series “SQUICH” is available in 6, 10, 16, 24, 32 and 48 pole configuration.

WAGO picoMAX® Pluggable Connection System

WAGO’s picoMAX® is a complete pluggable connection system featuring a radically simplified contact design that reduces size, while increasing performance and connection integrity as compared to competitive pluggable products. The pluggable connection system accommodates conductors 24-12 AWG and carries ratings up to 15 A/600V. Configurations: 2-12 poles for wire-to-wire, wire-to-board, board-to-wire and panel feed-through designs. Applications: industrial electronics such as panel meters, controllers, data loggers and consumer electronics, e.g., garage door openers.

WAGO pioneered spring pressure termination technology, fast becoming the superior termination method in the industry in terms of reliability and ease of use. Now, the all-new patented picoMAX® Pluggable Connection System brings this spring pressure termination technology to the next level in its evolution and design.

WAGO’s picoMAX® utilizes a single, stainless steel, dual-purpose spring to encompass two core functions of a pluggable system: to clamp the conductor and connect to the mating pin. A simple, truncated contact bridge replaces the traditional socket contact, reducing the complexity of the connection and effectively eliminating a connection point. The innovative design has a shortened current path, minimizing contact resistance and increasing connection and signal integrity in operating temperatures up to 125°C.

Wiring picoMAX® is fast and efficient

Unlike crimp-style connectors, picoMAX® contacts are self-contained – the sockets, pins and wire termination elements are built in to the connector – ready to accept stripped wire. picoMAX® eliminates the crimp process and the associated tooling investment. The pluggable connection system features integrated pushbuttons to be depressed in order to accept or release stranded conductors. It’s CAGE CLAMP®S spring further speeds wiring by allowing for push-in connection of solid or ferruled conductors. Wiring is easy and obvious for worldwide installations without the need for special tools.

picoMAX®’s revolutionary, yet simple, design increases vibration resistance up to 20g. The dual-purpose spring provides dynamic contact force that automatically adjusts to environmental impacts like vibration, thermal cycling and corrosion – all of which can cause other connectors to prematurely fail. Fully shrouded by the male counterpart when plugged, the female connector automatically locks in place, preventing unintended disconnection and further aiding shock and vibration resistance.

WAGO is the leader in spring pressure connection technology that eliminates loose wires resulting from vibration and temperature cycling, while providing highly reliable, corrosion-resistant and maintenance-free connections.
