Germantown, WI, October 2003 - WAGO Corporation announces the release of the new 788 Series plug-able, DIN rail mount relays. This new relay package utilizes the innovative CAGE CLAMPâS spring pressure connection technology for push-in connection of solid wire or ferruled stranded wire and screwdriver actuated connection of all wire types. Either way a highly reliable, fast, easy, vibration proof, corrosion resistant, temperature cycling resistant, and maintenance free connection can be realized."The 788 Series gives engineers the flexibility to switch high currents for a wide variety of input voltages," says Mark DeCramer, Advanced Electronics Product Manager at WAGO. "In addition, wiring is simplified by separating the coil side connections from the load side."The compact design of the 788 Series plug-able relay, at just 15mm wide, is just one of the unique features resulting in tremendous application benefits. Other features and benefits of this system include:Plug-able electronics with LED/neon lamp for switching status indication, as well as with/without diode for circuit protection. Easy potential commoning with insulated, plug-in, comb style jumper eliminating redundant wiring on either the coil or the load side. Convenient lever reliably secures the relay even when subjected to vibration and eases relay replacement. Connection points are pre-marked for easy circuit identification right out of the box with optional custom marking on the relay lever. 100% compatibility for all small switching relays with standard 5mm pin spacing. The 788 Series is designed for terminating wire sizes 22-14 AWG, switching up to 16 amperes at up to 230V, input voltages of 12, 24, 110VDC or 230 VAC, 4kV insulation voltage between the coal and the load, and carries a UL flammability rating of UL94-V0. In addition, this series is competitively priced starting at $6.25 each for relay and socket, and can be ordered complete with base, relay (SPDT and DPDT versions), and plug-able electronics or as individual items for the utmost in manufacturing flexibility. WAGO is the worldwide leader in spring pressure connection technology designed to eliminate loose wires as a result of vibration and temperature cycling, as well as provide a highly reliable, corrosion resistant, and maintenance-free connection. Our complete line of spring pressure connection products include 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.For more information contact WAGO at 1-800-DIN-RAIL, [email protected], or www.wago.com.
