destroys the oxide film during clamping.</li><li>Prevents fresh oxidation at the clamping point.</li><li>Prevents electrolytic corrosion between aluminum and copper conductors (in the same terminal block).</li><li>Provides long-term protection against corrosion.</li></ul> Using terminal blocks with CAGE CLAMP® Spring Pressure Connection Technology, aluminum conductors must first be cleaned with a blade and then immediately be inserted into the clamping units filled with “Alu-Plus” Contact Paste. For spring clamp connections with PUSH WIRE® connection technology, WAGO recommends that the aluminum conductor first be cleaned and then immediately inserted into the clamping unit filled with “AluPlus” contact paste. It is also possible to apply WAGO “Alu-Plus” additionally on the whole surface of the aluminum conductor before termination. Please note that the nominal currents must be adapted to the reduced conductivity of the aluminum conductors:: 2.5 mm² = 16 A 4 mm² = 22 A Solid conductor 0.08 … 2.5 mm² / 28 … 12 AWG Fine-stranded conductor 0.08 … 2.5 mm² / 28 … 12 AWG Note (conductor cross-section) 12 AWG: THHN, THWN Strip length 8 … 9 mm / 0.31 … 0.35 inch Total number of connection points 3 Total number of potentials 1 Number of levels 1 Wiring direction Front-entry wiring

## Push-In Type Wire Jumpers 

When installing machines or control systems, it is often necessary to make an additional connection between two terminal blocks that are not next to each other on the rail. In such cases, WAGO's touch-proof, push-in type wire jumpers are the ideal solution. 

Commoning using comb-style jumper bars: Push comb-style jumper bars down until fully inserted. 

Commoning terminal blocks of different sizes via step-down jumpers. 

These jumpers are compatible with the following rail-mount terminal blocks: - 279 Series (1.5 mm²/16 AWG), - 280/775/780 Series (2.5 mm²/14 AWG) - 281/769/776/777/781 and 880 Series (4 mm²/12 AWG) They are available in three conductor lengths (60, 110 and 250 mm), allowing up to 60 terminal blocks to be commoned depending on their width (see table on the right). 

The 280/775/780 and 281/776/777/781 Series Terminal Blocks accept two wire jumpers, allowing the use of commoning chains. Furthermore, the 280/769/775/780 /880 and 281/776/777/781 Series allow both wire jumper and adjacent jumper to be simultaneously plugged into a same terminal block.
