256-512 WAGO Industrial Automation Components

WAGO 256-512 is an automation part with a short circuit breaking rating as per IEC/EN 60664-1. It features nominal and rated voltages of 320V for overvoltage category III/2 and 630V for category II/2, with a rated impulse voltage of 4kV across these categories. The rated current is 24A according to IEC/EN standards. Under UL 1059, it has rated voltages of 300V and rated currents of 15A for Use Group B and 10A for Use Group D. CSA approvals mirror these UL ratings for both voltage and current. This part has 12 connection points, supports a single connection type with one level, and utilizes CAGE CLAMP technology with push-button actuation. It accommodates solid and fine-stranded conductors ranging from 0.08 to 2.5mm2 (28 to 12 AWG), including options for both insulated and uninsulated ferrules. The strip length for connections is 5 to 6mm, with a conductor connection direction to PCB at 45 degrees and a pole number of 12. Physically, it has a pin spacing of 7.5/7.62mm, dimensions of 92.9mm in width, 22.2mm in height, 17.6mm in depth, and a solder pin length of 4mm. The terminal strip is designed for THT PCB contacts with two solder pins per potential. It is made from Polyamide (PA66) in gray, with a flammability class of V0 and uses Chrome-Nickel spring steel and Electrolytic Copper for its clamping spring and contact materials, respectively. The part has a fire load of 0.268MJ and weighs 14.1g. It operates within a temperature range of -60 to +105°C. Packaged in boxes of 40 pieces, it is RoHS compliant without exemptions and has a GTIN of 4044918808842.
