WAGO Switches and sockets

Install crews pick WAGO when they want terminations that don’t loosen, frames that line up on the 60 mm screw line, and devices that behave with LED drivers instead of chattering or buzzing. Below is a field-oriented map of the platform—ratings, geometry, and wiring rules you can drop into drawings without guesswork.

wago switches and sockets platform overview and installation geometry

The wago switches and sockets family keeps the mechanics predictable: Ø68 mm flush boxes, 60 mm fixing centres, and multi-gang runs on a 71 mm pitch so plates sit level from single to five-gang. Insert bodies accept 0.5…2.5 mm² Cu (solid or fine-strand with ferrules), typical strip 8–10 mm, and labelled torque windows that stop cracked plastics and warm terminals. Contact sets in AgSnO₂ handle electronic loads cleanly; glow-wire values (often 650/850 °C per line) appear on the part so safety review isn’t a scavenger hunt. IP20 is the default; add gasket rings and the correct mounting orientation where splash is possible.

wago wall switches mechanisms, contact curves, and fit-off practice

One-way, two-way, intermediate, and momentary returns share one depth envelope, so mixing scene plates and call points won’t upset alignment. Mechanisms labelled wago wall switches use 10AX/16AX ratings for LED loads; change-over variants feed relays or blinds cleanly; silent returns matter in meeting rooms. Spring or screw clamps take ferruled conductors without “cold flow”; captive screws and test access let you prove polarity and loop/Zs with the plate on. For refurb floors, claw and screw fixings cover both masonry and drywall boxes, and spacer rings (2–10 mm) correct proud plaster.

wago electrical sockets contact sets, USB options, and IP choices

Shuttered 16 A inserts, dual outlets, and combinations with USB-A/C chargers arrive on the same support grid. Terminals on wago electrical sockets are finger-safe, clearly polarised, and sized for 0.5…2.5 mm²; child-resistant shutters are available where policy demands it. In cleaning zones, fit IP44 kits (gasket + orientation note) so ingress claims survive housekeeping. Faceplates in polymer or metal finishes share frame geometry with data/AV, which keeps bezels flush on mixed plates.

wago modular switch systems frames, supports, and mixed-function plates

Supports keep the 71/71/71 mm rhythm, while adapters seat power, data, and control on one line without forcing odd cutouts. With wago modular switch systems, you approve a single support + frame set for the estate, then mix inserts (switch, socket, key selector, blind control, indicator) as room lists evolve. The benefit is practical: one cage of spares, one torque/strip rule, and one label size across the building.

wago power outlets country formats, interlocks, and heavy-duty notes

For plant and prep areas, the wago power outlets scope covers robust 16 A inserts, neon-indicated spurs, and lockable isolation where local rules call for it. Pick contact curves that ride transformer/motor inrush without nuisance, and publish RCBO/RCD type (AC/A/F) on the schedule so LED drivers and small VFDs don’t trip protection the first week.

wago lighting control switches dimming, scenes, and EMC hygiene

Trailing/leading-edge dimmers, 1–10 V controllers, and DALI-2 plates share the visible design language. Devices tagged wago lighting control switches should list the curve (log or linear), minimum stable level (e.g., 1–3 % DALI; 5–10 % analog), fade times, and tested loads. Keep SELV cores segregated in the box; maintain 360° braid bonds near VFD rooms to prevent ghost dim or flicker.

wago electrical components accessories, labeling, and small parts that save hours

The accessory set under wago electrical components includes spacer rings, IP gaskets, separation barriers, inscription windows, and repair collars for oversize cutouts. Using the same label windows and font across plates makes IR/loop sign-offs faster, and barriers enforce SELV/mains separation when power and control share a gang.

Technical specifications and standards that matter

Supply 230 V AC, 50/60 Hz; mechanisms typically 10AX/16AX at 230 V; terminals 0.5…2.5 mm² Cu; strip 8–10 mm; torque per device label. Ingress: IP20 standard, IP44 with gasket sets when mounted as tested. Impact per model; glow-wire commonly 650/850 °C. Compliance touchpoints: EN 60669-1 (switch mechanisms), EN 60670-1 (boxes/enclosures), IEC 60529 (IP). Keep bend radius for data on mixed plates and preserve SELV/mains segregation with barriers.

Applications and integration notes

• Offices/hospitality: silent 16AX mechanisms for LED drivers; scene plates on DALI-2; USB bases in desks and bedside units.
• Education/healthcare: antibacterial finishes, locator LEDs, and IP44 sets in cleaning zones.
• Plant/back-of-house: indicated spurs, higher AX ratings, and clear legends for maintenance routes.
  All inserts ride the same frame/support grid, so trim lines stay consistent and spares work floor-to-floor.

Selection checklist for B2B buyers

1. Define load type (LED drivers, motors, heaters) → choose AX rating/curve and RCD type.
2. Fix geometry early: gang plan, support/plate family, finish codes, engraving/legend rules.
3. Specify control protocol (mechanical, 1–10 V, DALI-2) with minimum level and tested combinations.
4. Declare environment: IP/IK class, cleaning regime; add barriers for mixed SELV/mains.
5. Publish wiring practice: conductor class/size, strip length, torque, and plate-on test steps.
