723-605/000-042 WAGO Electrical Connector Accessories

WAGO 723-605/000-042 is a connector part of the MCS - MULTI CONNECTION SYSTEM, designed without breaking capacity as specified in DIN EN 61984, indicating it should not be connected or disconnected under load or when live. It adheres to IEC/EN 60664-1 standards, with nominal voltages of 500V, 630V, and 1000V for different overvoltage categories and pollution degrees, all with a rated impulse voltage of 6kV and a rated current of 12A. UL and CSA approvals include ratings of 300V and 600V with currents up to 15A, depending on the use group. This connector features 5 connection points, supports a single connection type across one level, and includes a preceding PE contact. The connection technology utilized is CAGE CLAMP, requiring an operating tool for actuation, which can be performed parallel or perpendicular to conductor entry. It accommodates solid and fine-stranded conductors ranging from 0.08 to 2.5mm2 (28 to 12 AWG), with specific allowances for ferruled conductors. The physical dimensions include a pin spacing of 7.5mm, a width of 38.2mm, height of 14.3mm, and depth of 27.5mm. It features variable coding, anti-rotation protection, and mismating protection but lacks a locking mechanism for the plug-in connection. The connector is made from light gray Polyamide (PA66), with a flammability class of UL94 V0, and uses Chrome-Nickel spring steel and Electrolytic Copper with tin plating for the contacts. It operates within a temperature range of -60 to +100°C, is RoHS compliant, and comes in boxes of 50 pieces with the country of origin being Germany.
