10 conductor with levers - series 221 The WAGO family is growing. In our 221 series, i.e. the connecting terminal block with levers lever, a new product is being added. With me at my side is Stephan, who will introduce the new product to us today. today. Stefan, what have you brought us and what are the special features? Yes, Ingo, thank you very much. Today I've brought along the ten-conductor terminal block of the 221 family, which is the big brother of the through-connectors of the two, three and five conductor terminals, with the special feature that we can connect ten conductors here. The technical data is absolutely identical. connection capacity of 0.14 to 4mm² , 450 volts, 32 amps, the handling has also remained the same. This means opening the terminal point, inserting the conductor, whether solid, or flexible, close the terminal point and the conductor is connected. then simply connected. We have two test openings on the conductor guide side of the product and two further test openings on the rear so that the installer can easily determine the absence of voltage with his two-pole voltage tester. can determine the absence of voltage. Of course, the first thing you notice is that we have a different design. What's the special design all about? We have conducted customer surveys here and we have received the feedback that the installation space is particularly the installation space for multi-conductor connections often looks a bit looks a bit modest. And that's why we have chosen this more compact design here, that we have chosen the double-deck design to connect ten conductors. Because if an installer wants to connect ten conductors today, he uses three of five conductor terminals, connects them and he now needs three times as much space space than with a five-conductor terminal. With a ten-conductor terminal block, I have a clear size advantage. I have more space in the application and that is a clear advantage for the installer. the installer and handling is also much easier. Keyword handling. I see you've brought some adapter solutions with you. What are their individual functions? How do they work in the application? Exactly. So that we can operate a wide variety of applications, there are different adapters. In other words, adapters for screw and stud mounting. The adapters are available with latching feet for mounting on top-hat rails, regardless of whether it's the 35mm², as we have here now, or the 15mm² application. What is particularly nice is that we have a side-byside locking mechanism mount here. So with this side-byside locking mechanism mount, you have the option here of very easily easily snap on another mounting adapter on the right and left-hand side. on the right and left. And I now have a very, very simple way of integrating my integrate my clamps. We have a small locking hook here that holds the clamp securely in place. The clamp is inserted. It clicks so that I also get acoustic feedback. The clamp is now securely fastened and we also have the option here of possibility of actuating the clamp when it is mounted. This means that every terminal point can also be operated when mounted, so that you can installation can be carried out at any time. The adapter can then be very, very easily inserted into the distribution and ultimately clamp up to 30 conductors very economically in a very, very small installation space. up to 30 conductors. Okay, that means we have individual installation options thanks to the numerous works there and the in function. We have the same technical and quality specifications as with all the other products in the 221 family. For which applications is the 10-wire 221 series particularly predestined? particularly predestined for? What is it very suitable for? Yes, it is precisely suitable for applications where more than five five conductors need to be connected. In other words, classic neutral and protective conductor applications. In the market, driven now by the higher degree of automation, we are finding automation, we are finding many, many applications where this is exactly the case, regardless of whether it is in an industrial environment or in building installations. As an example, we have built a sub-distribution board here, which contains two RCD circuits and we have assigned these RCD circuits and neutral conductors to these RCD circuits and have therefore now chosen exactly this adapter combination here, so that you can this distribution board in a very simple and clear way. distribution board. Other applications would be, for example, heating circuit distributors, lighting groups or safety technology. In other words, all those applications where I have to connect many conductors together and ultimately want a size advantage. Okay. Will the connecting terminal with ten conductors also be available in the standard orange version? No, just like all the others now 221 series connection terminals here, there is also a version for Ex applications. You can easily recognize this by the bright lever. And for those applications where the focus is much more on sustainability is much more strongly weighted towards sustainability, there is also a version of the Green Range family. Here, a recycled material is used for the production of the clamp, so that the carbon footprint is optimized once again and can be used for precisely this application. Thank you very much, Stephan.
