Product Information

Full details

The WAGO 250-402 is an essential component for electronics engineers and hobbyists who require reliable, compact, and solderable connections for printed circuit boards. Its primary benefit is the combination of a 45-degree angled entry and a push-button mechanism that simplifies wire management in tight spaces; however, users should note it is specifically designed for 0.5 mm² conductors, which may limit use in high-power applications.

FAQs

What is the maximum wire size for the 250-402?

The terminal block is designed for conductors up to 0.5 mm².

Can I use this terminal block in extreme temperatures?

Yes, it is rated for operation between -60 °C and 105 °C.

Do I need special tools to insert the wires?

No, solid conductors can be inserted directly. For fine-stranded wires, you simply press the built-in push-button.

What is the pin spacing for this model?

The 250-402 features a 2.5mm pin spacing.

How do I perform a test on this terminal block?

You can insert a 1.3mm diameter test pin into the dedicated test port located on the top of the unit.

Troubleshooting

Conductor is difficult to insert

Ensure you are using the correct conductor size (0.5 mm²) and that you are using the push-button mechanism for stranded wire.

Test pin does not fit into the port

Verify that the test pin diameter is exactly 1.3mm; larger pins may damage the internal contact mechanism.

Loose wire connection

Check that the wire is stripped to the proper length and fully seated within the terminal housing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Tool-free wire insertion for solid conductors
  • Space-saving 45-degree entry design
  • High-temperature tolerance for industrial environments
  • Simple testing via dedicated 1.3mm port

Cons

  • Limited to 0.5 mm² conductor size
  • Solder-in mounting requires permanent attachment to PCB
  • Not suitable for high-current power distribution

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the WAGO 250-402, align the solder pins with the corresponding holes on your PCB and apply standard soldering techniques. Ensure that the PCB pads are designed to accommodate the 2.5mm pitch. For solid conductors, simply push the wire directly into the port for a secure connection. For fine-stranded conductors, press down on the integrated push-button before inserting or removing the wire to prevent damage to the spring mechanism. Keep the device clean and free from flux residue to ensure the push-button remains functional and the test port provides accurate readings.
