HISTORY:
This piece of hardware is the excellent splice lever block from Wago in Germany. These use a lever controlled compression clamp system, not IDC, to securely join a wide range of single wire gauges with reasonable current handling capabilities.
These have been extracted from the EATON ePDU (USA) that I have had here for ages (new) but no-one had an interest in it (probably because it was designed for a 3 phase supply)
I decided it was time to undergo "the operation" and the EATON ePDU is no more, items of interest are now being offered separately.
This item is basically new, the equipment it came from was new and never used, no-one seemed to want it ... sad! All is not lost, in my quest to be as sustainable as possible, I have extracted this high quality electrical connector from Wago ... this company is very well known in "industrial circles"
This is a three way block, insertion of each wire (up to 10mm insertion depth) and then clamp down the lever into the locked position - presto! You have a tight secure connection between all three ports. The block is designed to accept gauges from 28 ~ 12 and the Cage Clamp technology allows for "tool free" insertion and removal of the wires.
WAGO (GERMANY) - Splice Lever Block
Cage clamp technology
Part: 222-413
BASIC INFORMATION:
3 Way
Each port is independent of any other port i.e you could have just two wires in the block, it is not necessary to use all three ports at once.
Topside access port for safe in-circuit measurements
10mm insertion depth
32A current handling capability
400V AC rating
Designed for use with AWG28 ~ AWG12 (0.08–4 mm²) gauge wire (stranded or solid)
Polyamide (PA) housing
85°C (Surrounding air temperature: max 40°C)
All of the specific identification coding is stamped into the body of the block.
COSMETIC CONDITION:
"As" NEW never been put to use i.e no current has passed through this block
Clean
NO damage, marks to the block
Levers are sound and secure
To maintain the current condition I have now placed each block into individual packaging, sealed clear plastic.
