232-242/005-000 WAGO Electrical Connector Accessories

WAGO 232-242/005-000 is a connector part of the MCS - MULTI CONNECTION SYSTEM, designed without breaking capacity as specified in DIN EN 61984, indicating it should not be connected or disconnected under load or when live. It adheres to IEC/EN 60664-1 standards, with nominal voltages of 320V for overvoltage category III/3 and pollution degree 3, and 630V for category II/2, both with a rated impulse voltage of 4kV. The rated current is 12A. For UL standards, it has a rated voltage of 300V for Use Group B with a rated current of 15A, and for Use Group D, the same voltage but a 10A current, while under UL 1977, it supports up to 600V and 15A. CSA approvals mirror the UL ratings for both voltage and current. This connector features 12 potentials, a single connection type across one level, with a 12 pole number for the connection. Physically, it has a 5mm pin spacing, dimensions of 61.5mm in width, 26.1mm in height, and a depth of 11.6mm, with variable coding and anti-rotation protection. The female connector/socket is designed for front-entry rail-mount terminal blocks, without mismating or plugging loss of pin spacing protection, and lacks a locking mechanism. It is gray, made from Polyamide (PA66) with a V0 flammability class, copper alloy contacts, and tin plating. The part weighs 12.6g, operates within a -60 to +85°C temperature range, and is RoHS compliant. Packaged in boxes of 25, it is manufactured in Germany with a GTIN of 4044918570039 and a customs tariff number of 85366990990.
