The WAGO 769-103/022-000 is a 1-conductor spring terminal with an angled design, specifically designed for use in basic terminal blocks of series 769, in double-stack terminals of series 870, or in pin strips. The component enables a secure and reliable electrical connection through spring-loaded clamping of the conductor, while the angled shape ensures optimal space utilization in tight mounting areas. The spring terminal is coded as 3-pole and is gray in color, distinguishing it visually from other components and enabling easy identification in the enclosure.

Applications

The spring terminal is suitable for use in industrial control systems, automation systems, and distribution systems where compact and robust connection technology is required. It is frequently used in combination with basic terminal blocks of series 769, which serve as the foundation for modular terminal technology. The angled design of the terminal allows for efficient installation in enclosures with limited space, particularly when the cable must be connected vertically or at an angle. The 3-pole coding supports structured and error-free wiring in complex systems.

Functions and Features in Detail

The spring terminal is designed for use with conductors in the cross-section range of 0.08 to 4 mm², covering a wide range of applications in electrical and automation engineering. The spring contact technology ensures a stable electrical connection without requiring additional tools for connection. The angled shape of the terminal allows for vertical or diagonal insertion into the terminal, facilitating installation in tight spaces. The gray color serves as a visual identifier and supports assignment within an enclosure.

Technology Explained Simply

The spring terminal operates on the principle of spring force: during insertion, the conductor is pressed into a spring-loaded contact point, which holds it under pressure and ensures a permanent electrical connection. The angled shape reduces the required mounting height and allows for better cable positioning within the enclosure. The 3-pole coding means the terminal is uniquely identifiable within a multi-pole system, which is helpful during maintenance and troubleshooting. Use in basic terminal blocks of series 769 or double-stack terminals of series 870 requires no additional adapters or mounting aids.

Compatibility and Accessories

The spring terminal is specifically developed for use in basic terminal blocks of series 769 and double-stack terminals of series 870. It can also be used in pin strips, with the exact fit ensured by the angled geometry. As accessories, various wire end ferrules are available, designed for different conductor cross-sections (e.g., 0.5 mm², 1.5 mm², 2.5 mm²), as well as strain relief housings, insulation stops, and warning covers, which enhance safety and cable organization. Combination with test plugs or quick labeling systems supports maintenance and documentation of the system.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by simply inserting the spring terminal into the designated position in the basic terminal or pin strip. The angled shape allows for vertical or diagonal insertion, enabling optimal cable positioning. No additional tools or mounting aids are required. The spring terminal is inserted directly into the terminal, with the spring contact securely holding the conductor. The 3-pole coding supports correct assignment within a multi-pole system.

Operational Advantages

The spring terminal provides a reliable and durable electrical connection without requiring additional tools. The angled shape optimizes space requirements in the enclosure and simplifies installation in tight spaces. The 3-pole coding improves clarity and error prevention during wiring. Use in basic terminal blocks of series 769 or double-stack terminals of series 870 ensures high compatibility and integration into existing systems. The gray color supports visual identification and system structuring.
