The WAGO connection terminal type 221-613 is a COMPACT connection terminal for use in industrial and electrical installations. It enables secure and quick connection of up to three conductors with a maximum cross-section of 6 mm². The terminal is suitable for all types of conductors, including solid and stranded conductors, and features operating levers that ensure simple and reliable connection. The housing is transparent, facilitating visual inspection of the connection and conductor cross-section. The maximum ambient temperature is 85 °C (T85), enabling use in environments with increased thermal load.

Connection terminal

The terminal is designed as a 3-conductor terminal, allowing three individual conductors or cables to be connected at a single point. The construction with operating levers enables mechanical locking of the conductors, ensuring secure and durable contact performance. The levers are designed to allow easy mounting and dismounting without requiring additional tools. The terminal is designed for use in enclosures, control systems, and other electrical installations.

Applications

The connection terminal 221-613 is suitable for applications in industrial electrical engineering, including installation of control systems, drives, and safety systems. It is frequently used in enclosures where a compact and reliable connection of multiple conductors is required. The maximum conductor cross-section of 6 mm² makes it suitable for medium to high current loads. The transparent housing color supports maintenance and inspection, as the connection status is directly visible.

Features and equipment in detail

The terminal features a compact design that minimizes space requirements in enclosures. The operating levers ensure mechanical fixation of the conductors, preventing displacement or loosening of the connection. The terminal is designed for all types of conductors, ensuring universal usability. The maximum ambient temperature of 85 °C (T85) enables use in environments with increased thermal stress, such as those found in industrial plants.

Technology explained simply

The connection terminal operates on the principle of lever locking: when the lever is actuated, the conductor is pulled into the contact area and mechanically fixed. The terminal is designed to ensure even pressure distribution on the conductor, enabling a stable electrical connection. The transparent housing color allows visual inspection of the connection, which is advantageous during maintenance and inspections. The maximum temperature resistance of 85 °C (T85) is relevant for use in industrial environments, where ambient temperature may rise due to machine operation or other heat sources.

Compatibility and accessories

The terminal is part of the WAGO series 221 and can be combined with other products in this series. Suitable accessories include mounting adapters such as types 221-510, 221-510/000-006, and 221-510/000-053, which enable secure mounting in enclosures. Bridges for conductor entry, such as types 221-941, 221-942, 221-941/000-006, and 221-942/000-006, can be used to connect multiple terminals or for conductor routing. Gel boxes such as types 207-1433 and 207-1431 are used for sealing wire entries and can be employed to prevent moisture ingress.

Mounting and installation

Mounting is performed by inserting the conductor into the terminal and actuating the lever, which mechanically fixes the conductor. The terminal can be mounted in standard control panels or enclosures. The use of mounting adapters enables secure installation in various enclosure types. The transparent housing color facilitates visual inspection during installation and during subsequent inspections.

Operational advantages

The terminal provides a reliable and durable connection that remains stable even under industrial conditions. The operating levers allow quick installation without tools, reducing installation time. The transparent housing color supports maintenance, as the connection status is directly visible. The maximum temperature resistance of 85 °C (T85) extends the range of applications to thermally stressed environments. Compatibility with accessories from series 221 enables flexible and modular installation in various systems.

COMPACT connection terminal

The terminal is designed as a COMPACT connection terminal, meaning it has a compact form factor and efficient space utilization in enclosures. The design is optimized for use in modern electrical installations, where space and reliability are priorities. The combination of mechanical locking and transparent housing ensures a secure and controllable connection.

Conductor cross-section

The maximum conductor cross-section is 6 mm², enabling use for medium to high current loads. The terminal is designed for all types of conductors, ensuring universal applicability. The connection is made via operating levers, which ensure a secure and durable connection.

Ambient temperature

The maximum ambient temperature is 85 °C (T85), enabling use in environments with increased thermal load. The terminal is designed for industrial applications, where high temperatures may occur due to machine operation or other heat sources.

Housing color

The housing color is transparent, facilitating visual inspection of the connection and conductor cross-section. This is particularly advantageous during maintenance and inspections, as the connection status is directly visible.
