Ensure that the strip lengths are between 8 and 9 mm when connecting conductors to this female connector. This product incorporates one conductor terminal and utilizes CAGE CLAMP®. Our highly-rated and main­ tenance-free CAGE CLAMP® connection makes it easy to connect all types of conductors without having to prepare the conductor. For example, you don't need to crimp ferrules. The dimensions are (81.5 x 14.3 x 26.45) mm (width x height x depth). This female connector is suitable for conductor cross sections ranging from 0.08 mm² to 2.5 mm². The contact surface is coated with tin. # **Notes** |**Notes**|| |---|---| |Safety Information|The_MCS – MULTI CONNECTION SYSTEM_includes connectors without breaking capacity in| ||accordance with DIN EN 61984.
