280-941/281-490 – WAGO

Overview

The WAGO 280-941/281-490 is a double-level, 4-position feed-through terminal block designed for efficient wire termination in industrial control and automation systems. Its primary function is to facilitate secure, high-density connections for wiring gauges ranging from 14 to 28 AWG, crucial for complex circuit routing. A key design consideration often overlooked is the potential for capacitive coupling between adjacent conductors on different levels, which can impact signal integrity in high-speed data applications; careful layout and shielding are paramount to mitigate this. This component, with its robust Polyamide insulation and spring-loaded termination, ensures reliable electrical continuity and mechanical stability.
