What is the Wago 256-516?
PCB terminal block, 256 Series, push-button
This PCB terminal block (item number 256-516) is designed for easy and secure connections. It is perfect for custom installations with different mounting types. Conductors can only be connected to this PCB terminal block if their strip length is between 5 and 6 mm . This product incorporates one conductor terminal and utilizes CAGE CLAMP®. Our celebrated universal connection known as CAGE CLAMP® is the industry standard for connection technology and electrical interconnections. Dimensions: (122.9 x 22.2 x 17.6) mm (width x height x depth). This PCB terminal block is suitable for conductor cross sections ranging from 0.08 mm² to 2.5 mm².
The contact surface is coated with tin. This PCB terminal block is operated with a push-button. The PCB terminal block is designed for THT soldering. The conductor is designed to be inserted into the board at an angle of 45°..
