Got to Have a WAGO” – 50 Years of Splicing Connector

April 23, 2024

Small product, big impact: Five decades ago, the company revolutionized connection technology in electrical installation with the splicing connector. The phrase “Got to have a WAGO” has been firmly anchored in the vocabulary of every professional electrician since its launch in 1974.

Even today, “WAGO” stands for speed, safety and maintenance-free operation – and enthuses millions of electricians about their daily challenges. To celebrate the 50th anniversary, we really let it crash and celebrate the legend with a birthday anthem!

Green Range 221 Series Splicing Connector from WAGO
Got to have a WAGO" - 50 years of Splicing Connector

Nothing is too small to make a positive impact on our environment. Therefore, the comany has reimagined one of their best-known products – the 221 Series Splicing Connector. A variant made of partially bio-circular and recycled plastics has been created to keep existing resources in circulation. The connector thus lays a more sustainable footprint right at the start of the installation. The new connector from the Green Range family is a first step towards sustainable development since every big change begins with a first small step.

POSITAL Extends Product Finder Portal to Include Kit Encoders

 

Kit (or modular) encoders are designed to be integrated into electric motors or other types of rotating machinery, providing position feedback for the control system. While sharing performance characteristics with POSITAL’s stand-alone absolute encoders, kit encoders are stripped-down designs without their own shafts, bearings, or seals. Instead, the rotating element – a permanent magnet array – is attached directly to a motor’s shaft, while the measurement module is designed to fit onto the motor’s housing.
