256-508/000-009/999-950 WAGO Terminal Blocks

WAGO 256-508/000-009/999-950 is a printed circuit connector with a short circuit breaking rating as per ATEX PTB 06 ATEX 1061 U / IECEx PTB 06.0042 U, rated voltage of 275V EN (Ex e II), and a rated current of 16A (Ex e II). It features 8 connection points, with a total of 8 potentials and 1 connection type across a single level. The connector employs CAGE CLAMP technology with push-button actuation and accommodates solid and fine-stranded conductors ranging from 0.08 to 2.5mm2 (28 to 12 AWG), including fine-stranded conductors with both insulated and uninsulated ferrules from 0.25 to 1.5mm2. Notably, it supports 12 AWG THHN; THWN conductors with a strip length of 5 to 6mm (0.2 to 0.24") and a conductor connection direction to PCB at 45 degrees. The pole number is 8, with pin spacing of 7.5/7.62mm (0.295/0.3"), dimensions of 62.9mm width, 22.2mm height, 17.6mm depth, and a height from the surface of 18.2mm. It features a solder pin length of 4mm, dimensions of 0.7 x 0.7mm for the solder pin, and a drilled hole diameter with tolerance of 1.1 (+0.1)mm. The connector is designed for THT PCB contact with an in-line solder pin arrangement and two solder pins per potential. It is made from light gray Polyamide (PA66) with a flammability class of UL94 V0, chrome-nickel spring steel (CrNi) for the clamping spring, electrolytic copper (ECu) for the contact material, and tin plating. The fire load is 0.181MJ, and it weighs 9.4g. It operates within a temperature range of -60 to +105°C, is RoHS compliant without exemption, and comes in a box packaging of 60 pieces per unit (15 pieces per sub-packaging). The product is manufactured in Switzerland, with a GTIN of 4044918764544 and a customs tariff number of 85369010000.
