WAGO CAGE CLAMP

Benefits of WAGO Connection Technology

Vibration and Shock-Proof - Maintenance-Free

The vibration-proof  propertied of CAGE CLAMP^® connections have been tested and verifies in a vibration test to IEC/EN 60068-2-6. In this test, a variable frequency band up to 2000Hz, at different accelerations up to 20G and different amplitudes up to 20mm, was passed in three axes. Extremely demanding test requirements for electrical installations in rolling stock (IEC/EN 61373) are mandated by railway authorities or the testing agencies for marine approvals, such as GL, LR and DNV. These rigorous tests were also passes. 

In the impact test to IEC/EN 60068-2-27 or for railway applications to IEC/EN 61373, test specimens were exposed to instant shock stresses, instead of permanent vibrations. Stresses up to 100G on the x-, y- and z-axis were passed without any problems.

The maintenance-free feature results from the excellent long-term consistency of the electrical and mechanical properties of the clamping connection - more accurately, the clamping point. The voltage drop test evaluates clamping point quality under stresses such as vibrations, temperature changes and corrosive influences, in order to verify the gastightness of the contact point. The CAGE CLAMP^® technology has proven its long-term consitency in laboratory tests by international approval authorities, as well as in worldwide applications. The results are maintenance-free connections that reduce service costs and increase both the availability and reliability of installations and devices. 

Time Saving

CAGE CLAMP^® technology reduces labor costs through significantly reduced wiring times.

Faster commissioning and elimination of service costs due to the maintenance-free terminations that provide additional savings

Material and labor costs can also be reduced, when the conductors are used without prior preparation, i.e. crimping of ferrules or pin terminals. Front- entry wiring configuration is ideal, and is something well-respected users require in their specifications.
