WAGO adds Push-Buttons to 2060 Terminal Block
An alternative to hand-soldering PCB leads, push-buttons streamline termination and permits removal for wiring error correction.

March 8, 2012 - WAGO’s 2060 Series SMD-Terminal Block line gains 1- and 3-pole variants, bringing push-button actuation to PCB-based LED lighting and electronics. A labor-saving alternative to hand-soldering PCB leads, 2060 Series’ push-button streamlines termination and permits removal for wiring error correction — no costly scrap/rewiring. This unique capability also enables OEMs to meet Energy Star requirements for end-of-life components; push a button to swap-out/drop-in units. For simplicity, 2060 Series accommodates the broadest range of solid/stranded conductors (AWG 24–18) within one unit — even tinned, top-coated or pre-bonded ones. All 2060 Series models are UL/cUL Recognized: 1-pole units carry an industry-topping 600V/9A rating; 2- and 3-pole models are rated 250V/9A.

Applications include LED lighting/signage, as well as thermostat, alarm and HVAC controls. Just 4.5mm high, 2060 Series also suits electronics requiring low-profile SMT components. Terminations are simple: Solid conductors are pushed-in; removal is push-button actuated. Flexible or stranded conductors utilize the push-button for termination/removal.

Aiding operation, 2060 Series’ push-buttons are concaved and slotted for actuation via ballpoint pen or small screwdriver. A unique “wiring balcony” funnels conductors into the housing — even at slight angles — easing wiring. CAGE CLAMP terminations are maintenance-free, vibration- and thermal cycling-resistant to exceed LED longevity. 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. Products: DIN-rail, PCB and chassis mount terminal blocks; signal conditioners; the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM and more.
