The WAGO 284-604 is a 2-wire passage terminal block from the series 284, designed for use in industrial and building installations. It enables secure and reliable connection of electrical conductors using CAGE CLAMP® technology. This terminal block is suitable for conductor cross-sections from 0.2 mm² to 10 mm² and features side label slots that allow clear identification of connections. The terminal block is blue in colour and designed for mounting on support rails with dimensions 35 x 15 mm and 35 x 7.5 mm.

Applications
This passage terminal block is suitable for classic passage wiring as well as for potential distribution in various application areas. It is used in industrial control systems, distributors, and enclosures where quick and secure connection of conductors is required. The terminal block is intended for indoor use and can be used in electrical installations where a stable and durable connection is necessary.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The terminal block uses CAGE CLAMP® technology, in which a cage tension spring mechanism securely holds the conductor without requiring additional preparation, such as crimping wire end ferrules. The stripping length for conductor connection is between 12 and 13 mm. The side label slots allow the use of labelling systems such as the WMB multi-labelling system to clearly identify connections.

Technology Explained Simply
The CAGE CLAMP® technology works with a tension spring that holds the conductor in a cage profile. This ensures a mechanically stable and electrically reliable connection. The terminal block is suitable for various conductor types, including solid and stranded conductors, without requiring additional processing. The blue colour identifies the terminal block as part of a standardised colour scheme for electrical installations.

Compatibility and Accessories
The terminal block is designed for mounting on standard support rails with dimensions 35 x 15 mm and 35 x 7.5 mm. Compatible accessories include wire end ferrules for various cross-sections (e.g. 0.75 mm², 1.5 mm², 4 mm²), labelling systems such as WMB multi-labelling in various colours (purple, orange, green), and actuation tools. Additionally, covers such as warning covers, finger protection covers, and reduction bridges are available to enhance safety and functionality of the installation.

Mounting and Installation
Mounting is done on a support rail by simply snapping the terminal block into the rail. The conductor connection is made using the actuation tool, ensuring the stripping length of 12 to 13 mm is maintained. The terminal block is intended for use in enclosures and distributors, and mounting typically requires no additional tools other than the actuation tool.

Operational Advantages
The terminal block provides a maintenance-free and reliable connection that remains stable over a long period. The CAGE CLAMP® technology reduces the risk of contact loss and increases installation safety. The side label slots facilitate maintenance and identification of connections. Compatibility with various accessories allows flexible adaptation to different requirements.

Protection Rating
The terminal block is intended for indoor use.

Operating Voltage
The terminal block is designed for use in electrical installations typically operated at voltages up to 1000 V AC or 1500 V DC, depending on the application.

Conductor Cross-Section
The terminal block is suitable for conductor cross-sections from 0.2 mm² to 10 mm². The maximum cross-section rating is 10.00 mm², enabling use with medium to large conductor cross-sections.

Support Rail
The terminal block is designed for mounting on support rails with dimensions 35 x 15 mm and 35 x 7.5 mm. These are standard dimensions in electrical installation and allow universal use in various enclosures and distributors.

Stripping Length
The required stripping length for conductor connection is between 12 and 13 mm. This length is necessary to ensure a secure and reliable connection without excessive stripping of the conductor.

Actuation
The tool is designed for precise actuation of the CAGE CLAMP® spring and ensures a secure connection.

Label Slots
The terminal block features side label slots suitable for use with labelling systems such as the WMB multi-labelling system. This enables clear and durable identification of connections.

Accessories
Compatible accessories include wire end ferrules for various cross-sections, labelling systems in various colours, actuation tools, covers such as warning covers, finger protection covers, and reduction bridges. These accessories can be selected according to installation requirements to enhance functionality and safety.

Manufacturer
The terminal block is manufactured by WAGO, a well-known provider of connection technology for industrial and electrical applications. The product number is 284-604, and it belongs to the series 284, known for its reliability and functionality.

Application
The terminal block is intended for use in industrial and building installations, particularly in enclosures, distributors, and control systems. It is suitable for classic passage wiring as well as for potential distribution, where a stable and secure connection is required.

CAGE CLAMP®
The CAGE CLAMP® technology is a connection technology in which a cage tension spring mechanism securely holds the conductor. It enables a reliable connection without additional preparation of the conductor.

Passage Terminal Block
A passage terminal block enables the connection of two conductors, with current flow passing through the block. It is commonly used in enclosures and distributors.

Support Rail
A support rail is a profile on which electrical components such as terminal blocks, switches, or relays are mounted. Standard dimensions are 35 x 15 mm and 35 x 7.5 mm.

Label Slots
Side label slots allow the use of labelling systems to clearly identify connections.

Actuation Tool
An actuation tool is required to operate the CAGE CLAMP® spring and securely fix the conductor in the terminal block.

Conductor Cross-Section
The conductor cross-section describes the cross-section of the electrical conductor, specified in mm². The terminal block is suitable for cross-sections from 0.2 mm² to 10 mm².

Stripping Length
The stripping length is the length by which the conductor must be stripped to be inserted into the terminal block. For the WAGO 284-604, this length is between 12 and 13 mm.

Colour
The terminal block is blue in colour, which is often used in electrical applications for specific functions or circuits.

Accessories
Compatible accessories include wire end ferrules, labelling systems, actuation tools, covers, and reduction bridges, which can be selected according to requirements.
