Troubleshooting
Wire does not stay connected.
Ensure the wire is fully inserted into the cage clamp and that the correct wire gauge is used. Check for any damage to the wire or terminal block.
Difficulty inserting the wire.
Make sure the wire is stripped to the correct length and that the end of the wire is straight. Rotate the wire slightly while inserting if necessary.
Terminal block overheating.
Check if the wire gauge is correct for the current load. Ensure the terminal block is not exceeding its 32A rating. Reduce the current or use a higher-rated terminal block if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Quick and easy installation with push-in technology.
- Provides secure and reliable connections.
- Supports multiple conductors per pin, increasing flexibility.
- Compact design allows for use in space-constrained environments.
- Durable construction ensures a long lifespan.
Cons
- Limited to a specific wire gauge range (20-12 AWG).
- Requires specific mounting hardware (M3 screw and nut or self-tapping screw).
- Not fused, requiring external overcurrent protection.
- May not be suitable for all high-current applications exceeding 32A.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Preparation: Ensure the power is OFF before starting any wiring. Strip the wire insulation to the correct length (refer to the product specifications for the recommended stripping length).
- Wire Insertion: Insert the stripped wire into the push-in cage clamp until it is firmly seated. A click sound may indicate a proper connection.
- Mounting: Secure the terminal block using M3 screws and nuts, or self-tapping screws (2.9mm Ø), according to your application requirements. The terminal block is designed for pluggable mounting to a basic module.
Compatibility
The WAGO 862-1503 terminal block is compatible with single-core and flexible cables within the specified wire gauge range (20-12 AWG / 0.5 - 4 mm²).
Care
- Regularly inspect the terminal block for any signs of damage or loose connections.
- If dust or debris accumulates, clean it with a dry cloth. Do not use solvents.
- Ensure that the terminal block is not exposed to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures.
