The WAGO lamp connection terminal type 294-5013 is a 3-pole connection element for the electrical connection between installation systems and lamps. It ensures a safe and reliable connection of electrical conductors in the field of home automation and lighting technology. The terminal is specifically designed for use in electrical installations where a clear separation between the installation side and the lamp side is required. The design enables simple and quick installation without additional tools, with the actuator positioned externally to facilitate the connection process.

Lamp connection terminal

The terminal is designed as a 3-pole component, with the polarity defined as N-PE-L (Neutral, protective conductor, line). On the lamp side, it is designed for single-core conductors, while the installation side is suitable for all common conductor types. This allows for flexible use in various installation configurations. The maximum cross-sectional area is 2.5 mm², covering the use with standard conductors in the low-voltage range. The terminal is designed without a PE contact, which may be required for certain connection configurations.

Functions and equipment in detail

The terminal features an external actuator, which simplifies the connection process and ensures a secure connection. The white color allows for unobtrusive integration into electrical distributors and switch cabinets. The maximum ambient temperature is 85 °C (T85), ensuring suitability for environments with increased thermal load. The terminal is designed for use in electrical installations where a clear separation between the installation side and the lamp side is required.

Technology explained simply

The terminal operates on the principle of spring clamp technology, where the conductor is pressed into a clamp by an actuator. This ensures a stable and durable electrical connection. The use of an external actuator facilitates inserting and securing the conductor, especially in limited space conditions. The terminal is designed for a maximum conductor cross-sectional area of 2.5 mm², covering the use with standard conductors in the low-voltage range.

Compatibility and accessories

The terminal is compatible with various accessories that facilitate connection and installation. These include the release tool series 294 (item 206-294), strain relief for sheathed cables (294-364), strain relief with latching feet for cable diameters 4.5 mm and 12 mm (294-370), strain relief for flat cables (294-384), and strain relief without latching feet (294-375). These accessories support secure fastening and connection of conductors and prevent mechanical stress.

Installation and mounting

Installation is performed by simply inserting the conductor into the terminal and securing it with the external actuator. The terminal is designed for use in electrical distributors and switch cabinets. Installation typically occurs in conjunction with other components of home automation, where the terminal establishes the electrical connection between installation conductors and lamps. The maximum ambient temperature of 85 °C (T85) must be considered during system planning.

Advantages in operation

The terminal provides a secure and reliable electrical connection that remains stable even under load. The simple installation and external actuator facilitate the connection process, especially in limited space conditions. Compatibility with various accessories allows flexible adaptation to different requirements. Use in electrical installations with increased thermal load is ensured by the T85 rating.
