Why Choose the WAGO 790-108 Shield Clamping Saddle?
The WAGO 790-108 is a robust shield clamping saddle designed to provide reliable grounding of cable shields in industrial automation and control systems. It forms part of the WAGO 790 series shield connection system, allowing installers to securely connect cable shielding to a grounding busbar or mounting plate to minimise electrical interference.
By ensuring proper shielding continuity, the device helps protect sensitive control signals from electromagnetic interference (EMI). This is essential in modern automation environments where sensors, PLCs and communication networks operate in electrically noisy industrial settings.
The saddle uses a practical knurled screw clamping mechanism that enables quick installation and adjustment without specialised tools. Its stainless steel construction provides excellent mechanical durability and corrosion resistance for long-term use in demanding installations. :contentReference
