Product Information
Full details
The WAGO 862-552 is a 2-pole, black chassis-mount terminal strip designed for secure electrical connections in industrial and commercial applications. Its key benefit is the reliable Push-in Cage Clamp® connection technology, offering quick and secure wiring for wire sizes 20 to 12 AWG (0.5mm² to 4mm²). A potential caveat for users is the need for M3 screw and nut or self-tapping screws for mounting, requiring specific hardware.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What type of wire can be used with the WAGO 862-552?
This terminal strip is designed for solid and stranded conductors ranging from 20 AWG (0.5mm²) to 12 AWG (4mm²).
How is the WAGO 862-552 mounted?
It is mounted via M3 screw and nut or self-tapping screws inserted from the top.
What does 'Push-in Cage Clamp®' technology mean?
It refers to WAGO's tool-free connection system that allows wires to be pushed directly into the terminal for a quick and secure connection.
What is the maximum current and voltage rating?
The terminal strip is rated for a maximum current of 32A and a nominal voltage of 500V.
Can I use ferrules with this terminal block?
While the Push-in Cage Clamp® is designed for direct wire insertion, using ferrules is generally not recommended unless explicitly stated by WAGO for specific applications or wire types.
What are the dimensions of the terminal strip?
The dimensions are 24mm (Width) x 22.3mm (Height) x 35mm (Depth).
Is this terminal block suitable for outdoor use?
The product is RoHS certified, but specific environmental ratings for outdoor use should be verified based on the application enclosure and environmental conditions. It is primarily designed for industrial and control panel environments.
Troubleshooting
Wire not securely connected
Ensure the wire is stripped to the correct length and inserted fully into the Push-in Cage Clamp®. Verify the wire gauge is within the 20-12 AWG range. Check for any damage to the conductor.
Terminal strip not mounting securely
Confirm that you are using M3 screws and nuts or appropriately sized self-tapping screws. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and the screw is adequately tightened.
Overheating during operation
Check that the connected wires are within the specified gauge range and that the current draw does not exceed the 32A rating. Ensure all connections are firm and inspect for potential short circuits.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Fast and reliable Push-in Cage Clamp® connections
- Suitable for a wide range of wire sizes (20-12 AWG)
- Robust 32A current and 500V voltage rating
- Secure chassis mounting options
- Compact size for efficient use of space
Cons
- Requires separate mounting hardware (M3 screws/nuts or self-tapping screws)
- Not designed for solid conductors smaller than 20 AWG
- Fixed 2-pole configuration may not suit all applications
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare Mounting Surface: Identify a suitable location on the chassis or mounting panel.
- Secure the Terminal Strip: Use M3 screws and nuts or appropriate self-tapping screws (minimum 2.9mm Ø) inserted from the top to fasten the terminal strip.
- Prepare Wires: Strip insulation from the wires to the recommended length (refer to WAGO documentation for precise stripping dimensions).
- Insert Wires: Push the stripped end of the conductor directly into the Push-in Cage Clamp® terminal until it is firmly seated. The cage clamp provides a secure connection.
Compatibility:
- Wire Size: Compatible with solid and stranded conductors from 20 AWG (0.5mm²) to 12 AWG (4mm²).
- Mounting: Requires M3 screw and nut or self-tapping screws for secure attachment.
Care:
- Cleaning: Disconnect all power before cleaning. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect connections for signs of damage or loose wires, especially in high-vibration environments.
