GERMANTOWN, WI – May 21, 2008 – WAGO extended the pole configurations for the insulated comb-style jumper bars used with the 231 Series Multi Connection System (MCS) MIDI (pin spacing 5mm/5.08mm). In addition to a 2-pole configuration, 3-, 5-, 7- and 10-pole versions have joined the MCS MIDI lineup to provide additional flexibility. WAGO’s MCS MIDI Jumpers are currently the only Spring Pressure-compatible series available.
The RoHS-compliant MCS MIDI Jumpers also feature: an insulated, touch-safe design for safety, on-unit molded markings for easy identification and quick installation, removable jumper pins for custom configurations and suitability for both a 5 mm and 5.08 mm pitch. Additionally, all versions within the wide range of MCS MIDI Jumpers are readily available from stock. “The MCS MIDI Jumpers have been specifically designed for CAGE CLAMP compatibility,” said WAGO Interconnect Product Manager, Cory Thiel.
"With the MCS Jumpers, just one connection system is needed, minimizing costs and eliminating reinstallation times.”
About the MCS MIDI Connection System:
The 231 Series MCS MIDI terminates solid and stranded conductors up to 16 AWG with ratings of 15 A/300 V. MCS MIDI relies on CAGE CLAMP Spring Pressure Connection Technology to provide terminations that are easy, gas-tight, vibration-proof, maintenance-free and temperature-cycling resistant. To further ensure durability, the MCS MIDI is constructed of robust, high-quality materials such as: UL 94V-0 rated polyamide 6.6, chrome nickel spring steel clamping units and a tin-plated, copper alloy for current carrying contacts. Terminations are 100% protected from mis-mating via built-in keying or coding accessory and integrated test points for troubleshooting.
MCS MIDI offers several wiring options including: horizontal, vertical and lever actuation, as well as PUSH WIRE actuation for CAGE CLAMPS-equipped models. WAGO is the worldwide leader in spring pressure connection technology that eliminates loose wires as a result of vibration and temperature cycling, as well as provides highly reliable, corrosion-resistant and maintenance-free connections. Our complete line of spring pressure connection products includes: DIN-rail mount terminal blocks, chassis-mount terminal blocks, PCB-mount terminal blocks, relays, signal conditioners, power supplies, surge suppressors, the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM and more.
