The WAGO 2002-402 is an insulated fork bridge in 2-way configuration, designed for use in electrical control systems to ensure safe and reliable connection of conductors. The component is finished in light grey and enables the parallel connection of two conductors at a common connection point, with the insulation ensuring electrical separation between individual connection points. The rated current is 25 A, enabling use in systems with medium to high current loads. The construction is designed for use in enclosures and control systems, where clear structuring of connections and high mechanical stability are required.

Fork bridge components are special connection elements used in electrical installations to enable parallel connection of multiple conductors at a single connection point. Unlike simple terminals, they allow for compact and clear wiring, particularly in complex circuit diagrams. The WAGO 2002-402 is configured as 2-way, meaning two separate conductors can be connected to a single bridge element, establishing an electrical connection between them. The insulation ensures that individual connection points are galvanically separated, increasing safety and preventing short circuits.

Applications include primarily mounting in enclosures, control and regulation technology, and automation technology. The bridge is frequently used in systems where multiple conductors must be connected to the same potential point, for example, when connecting signal or power lines. The light grey colour supports visual differentiation within the control system and facilitates maintenance and servicing.

Functions and features in detail include 2-way connection capability, insulation of connection points, and a rated current capacity of 25 A. The design ensures a secure and durable connection, even under mechanical stress. The terminal is designed for use with cables, whose cross-section and type are specified in the technical data, but not mentioned in the available sources. The light grey colour is a visual feature that aids in better identification within the control system.

Technology explained simply shows that the fork bridge establishes a mechanical connection between two conductors, with electrical conductivity ensured by the metallic bridge. The insulation prevents unintended electrical contact between individual connection points, which is particularly important when connecting conductors with different potentials in parallel. The rated current of 25 A defines the maximum current load the component can withstand continuously without overheating or loss of function.

Compatibility and accessories refers to use in conjunction with other WAGO products, particularly in control systems equipped with WAGO terminals and connection elements. The component is used in standard control systems, with mechanical fit and electrical properties matched to typical requirements.

Mounting and installation is typically carried out in enclosures or on mounting plates, where the terminal is inserted into designated rails or mounting positions. Connection of conductors is achieved by inserting the cables into the connection openings and then tightening the terminal, with the exact mounting method depending on the rail used and the connection technique. The insulation of connection points requires no additional measures for electrical separation.

Operational advantages include clear structuring of connections, increased safety due to insulation, and easy installation. The 2-way configuration enables compact wiring, saving space within the control system. The rated current capacity of 25 A makes the component suitable for a wide range of applications in industrial electrical engineering. The light grey colour supports visual differentiation and facilitates maintenance.
