8 Way Push-In Toolless Wire Connector Wago

PUSH WIRE® connector for junction boxes; for solid and stranded conductors; max. 2.5 mm²; 8-conductor; transparent housing; dark grey cover; Surrounding air temperature: max 60°C; 2,50 mm²; multicoloured

Terminating Aluminum Conductors
WAGO spring clamp terminal blocks are suitable for solid aluminum conductors up to 4 mm²/12 AWG if WAGO “Alu-Plus” Contact Paste 249-130 is used for termination.

“Alu-Plus” Contact Paste Advantages:

• Automatically destroys the oxide film during clamping.
• Prevents fresh oxidation at the clamping point.
• Prevents electrolytic corrosion between aluminum and copper conductors (in the same terminal block).
• Provides long-term protection against corrosion.

For spring clamp connections with PUSH WIRE® connection technology, WAGO recommends that the aluminum conductor first be cleaned and then immediately inserted into the clamping unit filled with “Alu-Plus” contact paste.

It is also possible to apply WAGO “Alu-Plus” additionally on the whole surface of the aluminum conductor before termination.

Please note that the nominal currents must be adapted to the reduced conductivity of the aluminum conductors:
2.5 mm² = 16 A
4 mm² = 22 A
