FAQs
What type of wire can I use with the WAGO 243-211?
The WAGO 243-211 is designed for use with solid conductors only, with a size range of 0.6-0.8mm² (22-20 AWG).
Can I use stranded wires with this connector?
No, this connector is not designed for use with stranded wires. Using stranded wires may result in a poor connection.
What is the current rating of the WAGO 243-211?
The current rating is 6A.
What is the operating temperature range?
The operating temperature range is -60°C to 105°C.
What does PUSH WIRE® technology mean?
PUSH WIRE® technology allows for quick and easy connection of solid conductors by simply pushing the wire into the connector.
How do I remove a wire from the connector?
The WAGO 243-211 is designed for permanent connections and does not have a release mechanism. If the wire needs to be removed, the connector must be replaced.
What are the dimensions of the connector?
The dimensions are 10mm (W) x 11.5mm (H) x 10mm (D).
Is the WAGO 243-211 RoHS compliant?
Yes, it is RoHS compliant.
Troubleshooting
Device not functioning after connection.
Check the wire connection to ensure the wire is fully inserted. Verify the wire is solid core and within the specified gauge. Ensure the device itself is functional by testing it separately.
Loose connection.
Re-insert the wire, ensuring it is pushed in firmly until it stops. Check the wire for damage and replace the connector if necessary.
Connector is difficult to insert wires into.
Ensure the wires are properly stripped. Use a wire stripper designed for the correct wire gauge. Inspect the connector for any physical damage or blockage.
Intermittent connection.
Check the wire for any damage or corrosion. Replace the connector. Ensure that the wire gauge is correct for the connector.
