Will you EVER use screws again? WAGO TOPJOB S DIN RAIL Terminal blocks

But what is this supposed to be?

Am arduino circuit? Electrical circuit?

What projects could I do with these?

If this kit were found here in the USA we would consider it a temporal artifact from the year 2500 CE.

you use wago blue. terminale for nutral. I learn blue treminalonly for intrinsically sasfe circuts in ex room. And blue cable aswell.

i didnt understand what yo peoply are say

Good video, I know how terminal systems work now but it wasn't till later in my career that I started to figure it all out bit by bit, this would be very helpful for anyone that has really use them before.

the current Future

Just see this, brilliant board

Good old fashioned screw

Wago terminal are great! I was wondering , would fused multilevel terminal wago 2003-6641 would accept a usual automotive mini fuse or the fuse adapter 2004-911 is really necessary?

Hows this plastic all going to hold up over the years? wagis look like that brittle type plastic to me

fantastic

Thanks for your informational video. I've only been using WAGO for a short time, and I love them. I didn't even realize this product existed until I saw another of your videos. I went to my local big block store to get some. I asked an associate where they kept them. He didn't even know what they were. I went to AMAZON, and they had an excellent selection of WAGO products at a very reasonable price. My friends were amazed when they saw mine in actual use.

Wago are so good they’ve even rebranded a flathead driver. 😂😂😂

Be nice to see an S-Plan version

There are Also Phoenix and Weidmueller terminals just fyi

I have used many different types brands and screw types are still very usefull in some cases if you need to Twin wires or if you want to screw it down and want it to stay forever.

You've probably came across this question before, but what are the torque values for WAGO connectors? Can the force of this type of connector be measured and a comparison taken against the usual screw type terminals?

In Germany we build CU's "dry" connected all to the Wagos (or Weidmüller) at up or down and connect them at the installation place to the outside cable. For this we use 2/3/4 DIN-rails CU's where one DIN-rail is only for outside connection and the other for the MCB's/RCBO's/etc. With boxes from Hensel, Wiska, etc. it is all same "Lego working" all together. Build one, copy that for next build. Same for your heating-s-plan what here build-in into the heating computer normally.

So it is here allowed to use different components from different companies. So not just be ALL from Wago or Legrand or Hager only. Nothing wrong to use Wagos with Hager RCBO's and Legrand sockets in a Hensel box with a Wiska box for the outside light connection with standard german cable from another company. We use often this what be the best for exact this solution!

Just a question: Do you buy all this Wago pieces self with own money or Wago send them to product placement to you for free?

I self like to use Wagos since over 30 years but the price for one pieces is heavy expensive sometimes if they sell 25 in a box and you need only one or not all of them. Specially the bigger Wago 285 - I have 8 of the 25-pices-box how stay here since years.

I like the idea of wago on din Wale connections like in control panels on machinery in factories , but not on sockets outlets / lights switches and ceiling rose definitely not except for the lights fittings that have chocblocks like florescence strip lights and security flood lights. As for CUs again no you have every idiot installing CUs thinking they know what they are doing . We should be making it harder for non qualified people not easier

You can show me wago sensor termial block?

Nice Job guys!!!

So with the Wago type connections will there be a need for AFDD’s do you think?

Bloody brilliant….. wago are amazing

Not a clue what they are on about , but it looks a good idea.😃

It may well look like a screwdriver but theres quite a taper on the blade for easy access. We are using the Wago 2016-1304/2016-1392

Thats german engineering for you. W@G○4liF3❤

This is massively the coolest thing out there I've seen this month!

Is it IET and or IEEE approved ?

Is it fire safe ? If these plastic melts the cables will come out, but if screwed in the metal will keep it in place more in a longer timeframe.

Have to use screw type as it's what our customers specify.

I use these if I need to relocate a consumer unit.

They also got a printer so you could print custom branding for each one. A long strip that just clicks into place.
And an angled screwdriver that makes it a lot easier to work on irl applications rather than on a workbench. As the bottom of the cabinet might get in the way for a normal screwdriver.

Love this system...can you recommend a supplier...?

Thanks. I’m new to DIN rail systems and wiring up my first one (personal project). Do you have any vids with general tips, eg setting out an enclosure, how to use those cable tidy raceways (and where to get them) etc? Also recommended suppliers in the UK? I know things like layout will vary hugely with application but any really general tips would be great. Such as: always bring mains into the top and use the first DIN rail as your “patch panel”. What about DIN rail spacing, any standards or good advice? Cheers!

It's not Waygo there's no Way to go....speak it like that: clear VAh GOh...W in German sounds like V in English!

Another brilliant bit of kit. Yes din rail terminals have been around for years but Wago just keep getting better and better!! 👍

Fantastic bit of kit. I was dead against these…… until I used them!

Very nice. I use wagos daily but usually just 221s. I’d like the chance to build something with this kit.

I do a lot of fire alarm systems, so if I am using wagos it’s usually just on the earths because the other connections have to be in fire proof connectors. Ive always wanted to know if there is a wago product that’s fire proof? I feel like us alarms guys have been using the same fireproof ceramic connector blocks for decades.

What size conductors can they go upto? Thanks

That operating tool looks suspiciously like a screwdriver to me.

QVC

Top Job Wago. I'm sure this will have started panel builders drooling and the simple screwdriver will be retired to the tool box. Thanks guys.

Also remember no maintenance visits tightening terminals too.

I was really sceptical about spring cage terminals back in 2015. In particular a 15 year old installation of a theme park ride. My next visit I took the IR video camera to see if any hot spots were developing, if the springs were easing. Currents up to 32A on vibrating cars. Not a single warm terminal. We did find the contractors in the main panel that were neatly soldiered up next to each other were getting warm, 70C if memory serves, these just needed a 5mm space by skilled application of the biggest screwdriver in the box plus one of the bearings on a car was showing a bit of a temperature. From that point on I'm a Wago convert.
I've now set up a couple of panel shops and one tip would be to define your 'standard' range for the work you do. I wouldn't normally stock terminals designed for less than 2.5mm2, but that suits my work, I then pick earth terminals (for me always 4 connectors), fuse carriers another idea to standardise on (20mm glass, but wago have some very nice circuit breaker terminals in the pipeline) we do a lot of calibration so I need a disconnect terminal for testing, breaking into a current loop etc.
Mark Ward is the Wago rep for our neck of the woods, talk to Wago, get advise, ask for samples.

I like Wago, but you do not know how plastic will age - it might be brittle and also it might deform under pressure over time. Other than that, it makes life much easier. Guess by the time when it ages you have to rewire anyway...

Looks like a fantastic product range. I wonder about how they fit in a standard consumer unit along with MCBs: which ones fit behind a standard blank? I suppose the single layer ones fit and the triple layer ones don't, am I right? Do the double layer ones fit behind a blank?
Having 4 or 6 linked together connections in one terminal block would be a neat solution to link the signal/live/feedback wires from multiple push buttons together before wiring it to the modular dimmer/teleruptor/contactor/..., allowing neat wire management and easy changing of button functions later on.

You presented about the 3-minute mark the stacked ones that eg 6 way which was all connected and one that was not if they are on the din rail how can you tell if the common link is there?
