The compact picoMAX pluggable connection system from WAGO offers a shortened current path, minimal voltage drop, and vibration-resistance up to 20 g. The connector provides up to 30% space reduction for wire-to-board applications, with operating temperatures to 125°C. The patented male header / female connector design uses a dual-function spring: the dynamic contact force from a Cr-Ni stainless steel spring clamps conductors and also connects them to the header pin. A truncated contact bridge separates the termination unit from header pin, minimizing contact resistance. Applications include industrial electronics (such as panel meters, controllers, and data loggers) and consumer electronics (for instance, garage door openers).
The connector is available in 2 to 12-pole configurations with 3.5-, 5-, or 7.5-mm pin spacing for wire-to-wire, wire-to-board, board-to-wire, and panel feed-through variants. It accommodates 24 to12 AWG conductors and carries ratings to 15 A/300 V. To terminate cables, solid or ferruled conductors are directly inserted; for stranded conductors, integrated push-buttons provide terminations. Some versions provide gripping plates with a sliding connector release. (Contact company for pricing — available now.)
