Screwless connectors & slimline power supplies

Innovations on display included the TOPJOB S line, which offers the same quick and easy wiring with Push-in CAGE CLAMP that has become the hallmark of WAGO’s connection range. Wiring stranded conductors is always hands-free, via simple screwdriver actuation to keep the clamp open. Solid or ferruled conductors can be directly pushed in. TOPJOB S three-conductor fuse and disconnect terminal blocks are vibration proof, thermal cycling resistant and always gas tight.

All TOPJOB S terminal blocks offer an exclusive jumper retention spring for vibration-proof, maintenance-free connectivity when commoning. An extensive range of jumpering options and fast, low-cost printing with WAGO’s smartPRINTER makes the TOPJOB® S easy to use and quick to install.

Also on show were WAGO’s EPSITRON CLASSIC power supplies, which offer an ultra-slim package featuring 1-, 2- and 3-phase variants. With an ambient operating temperature range of -25 °C to +70 °C, a high transient protection level of up to 4 kV and UL508 approval, the CLASSIC family of power supplies are universally compatible with a wide range of applications and supply networks worldwide.

With uniform slim style housing and features such as integrated TopBoost, which provides power with a multiple of the rated current for up to 50 ms, providing enhanced output protection of standard circuit breakers.

Visitors to the stand will have seen that WAGO has extended its line of analogue input I/O to include compact, highly accurate modules with an excellent price/performance ratio.

At just 12 mm wide these controllers offer advanced capabilities in a very small profile, with 8 channels in a 12 mm footprint. Modules are configurable by channel for maximum system flexibility, while on-board diagnostic alarms help improve system reliability.

Available in three variants that read thermocouple, analogue current, and analogue voltage input, the new modules are suitable for applications including shipboard monitoring, industrial manufacturing and process plants.
