Why Choose the WAGO 285-427 Power Tap?
The WAGO 285-427 is a compact power tap for 35 mm² high-current terminal blocks, designed to provide a convenient branch connection from high-current terminal assemblies. Part of the WAGO 285 Series and based on POWER CAGE CLAMP connection technology, it provides a reliable solution for distributing power to smaller auxiliary conductors within industrial control and power distribution systems.
The power tap accepts conductors from 0.2–6 mm² and uses side-entry wiring, allowing a smaller conductor to be connected conveniently to a compatible 35 mm² high-current terminal block. Its spring pressure connection maintains dependable contact without the routine retightening associated with conventional screw connections, making it well suited to demanding industrial installations.
With a module width of only 8 mm, the WAGO 285-427 provides a space-efficient method of creating an additional power connection within a high-current terminal assembly. The grey module features one connection point and one potential and is suitable for applications requiring a compact power or voltage tap from WAGO 35 mm² high-current terminal blocks.
