256-408 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Wago 256-408 is an 8-position PCB terminal block from the 256 Series, featuring a 5.08mm pin spacing and a 45° conductor entry angle. It uses the CAGE CLAMP connection technology with push-button actuation for tool-free wire termination, accepting solid and fine-stranded conductors from 0.08 to 2.5 mm² (12-28 AWG) with a strip length of 5-6 mm.

 

Rated at 15A/300V per UL 1059 (Use Group B) and 24A/250V per IEC/EN 60664-1 (Overvoltage Cat III, Pollution Deg 3), this terminal block offers a rated impulse withstand voltage of 4 kV. The through-hole design with solder pin dimensions of 0.7 x 0.7 mm ensures reliable PCB mounting.

 

The gray housing measures 42.9 mm wide, 22.2 mm high, and 17.6 mm deep. The push-button actuator simplifies field wiring, making it suitable for industrial control and building automation applications.
