Data sheet | Item number: 773-162 PUSH WIRE(R) connector for junction boxes; for solid and stranded conductors; max. 2.5 mm; 2-conductor; transparent housing; yellow cover; max. ambient operating temp. 60 C www.wago.com/773-162 Item description Note: Terminating Aluminum Conductors WAGO spring clamp terminal blocks are suitable for solid aluminum conductors up to 4 mm/12 AWG if WAGO "Alu-Plus" Contact Paste is used for termination. "Alu-Plus" Contact Paste Advantages: Automatically destroys the oxide film during clamping. Prevents fresh oxidation at the clamping point. Prevents electrolytic corrosion between aluminum and copper conductors (in the same terminal block). Provides long-term protection against corrosion. Using terminal blocks with PUSH WIRE(R) Spring Pressure Connection Technology, aluminum conductors must first be cleaned with a blade and then immediately be inserted into the clamping units filled with "Alu-Plus" Contact Paste. 03.05.2019 Page 1/4 Data sheet | Item number: 773-162 www.wago.com/773-162 It is also possible to apply WAGO "Alu-Plus" additionally on the whole surface of the aluminum conductor before termination. Please note that the nominal currents must be adapted to the reduced conductivity of the aluminum conductors: 2.5 mm (14 AWG) = 16 A 4 mm (12 AWG) = 22 A Safety information 1: In grounded power lines Data Electrical data Ratings per IEC/EN 60664-1 Rated voltage (II / 2) 400 V Rated impulse voltage (II / 2) 4 kV Rated current 24 A Connection data Connection technology PUSH WIRE(R) Actuation type Push-in Connectable conductor materials Copper Aluminum Solid conductor 0.75 ... 2.5 mm / 18 ... 12 AWG Stranded conductor 1.5 ... 2.5 mm / 16 ... 12 AWG Strip length 12 mm / 0.47 inch Total number of connection points 2 Total number of potentials 1 Type of wiring Side-entry wiring Geometrical Data Width 9.2 mm / 0.362 inch Height 13.1 mm / 0.516 inch Depth 19.5 mm / 0.768 inch Material Data Color transparent Cover color yellow Flammability class per UL94 V2 Weight 1.847 g 03.05.2019 Page 2/4 Data sheet | Item number: 773-162 www.wago.com/773-162 Environmental Requirements Surrounding air (operating) temperature 60 C Commercial data Country of origin DE GTIN 4044918397995 Approvals / Certificates Country specific Approvals Logo Certificate name Approval Additional Approval Text CSA DEKRA Certification B.V.
