The WAGO 2273-208 is a COMPACT connection terminal block, specifically designed for secure and efficient connection of single-core conductors in industrial electrical engineering. The device enables the connection of up to eight conductors with a cross-section of up to 2.5 mm². The terminal block features a transparent housing and a light grey cover, allowing visual inspection of connection points and clear identification of connections during operation. The maximum ambient temperature is 60 °C (T60), permitting use in environments with moderate thermal loads.

Connection terminal block is the central product type offered here. This terminal block serves for electrical connection of multiple conductors within a compact housing, thereby reducing space requirements in enclosures and increasing mounting efficiency. The terminal block is designed for single-core conductors, meaning it is not suitable for multi-core cables or flexible cables with multiple wires. The maximum conductor cross-section of 2.5 mm² makes it suitable for medium to high current loads in industrial applications.

Applications include installation in enclosures, distribution boxes, or other enclosed electrical systems where a secure and accessible connection of multiple conductors is required. The transparent housing and light grey cover facilitate visual inspection of connections, which is advantageous during maintenance and inspections. The terminal block is designed for use in environments with a maximum temperature of 60 °C, which is typical for many industrial and commercial applications.

The terminal block is designed for single-core conductors, ensuring a stable and reliable connection. The transparent housing allows direct visibility of connection points, which is helpful during installation and maintenance. The light grey cover provides clear optical distinction and improves clarity within the enclosure.

Technology explained simply shows that the terminal block features a compact design that minimizes space requirements in enclosures. Connection is achieved via a mechanical clamping technique, where conductors are inserted into designated openings and secured by a clamping jaw. The maximum conductor cross-section of 2.5 mm² enables use in applications with medium to high current loads. Temperature resistance up to 60 °C (T60) ensures reliable operation under normal industrial conditions.

Compatibility and accessories include use with compatible accessories such as Gel boxes from series 221, designed for terminals with a maximum cross-section of 4 mm². These Gel boxes are available in various sizes (size 1, 2, and 3) and offer IP68 protection, making them suitable for use in damp or contaminated environments. Additionally, a mounting adapter (2273-500) is available, enabling installation of the terminal block in enclosures with various mounting spacings. The filling syringe 249-130 with Alu-Plus contact paste can be used to improve contact quality during installation.

Mounting and installation is performed by simply inserting the conductors into the clamping openings and then tightening the clamping jaws. The terminal block is designed for use in enclosures and can be adapted to various mounting profiles using the mentioned mounting adapters. The transparent housing facilitates visual inspection during installation and during subsequent maintenance work.

Operational advantages include the compact design, which reduces space requirements in enclosures, as well as the clear visibility of connections through the transparent housing. Connecting up to eight conductors in a single terminal block increases efficiency during installation and maintenance. The use of compatible accessories such as Gel boxes or mounting adapters expands application possibilities and improves installation reliability.
