## Item description 

- Protected against mismating and maintenance-free 

- Push-in CAGE CLAMP® spring pressure connection technology allows solid conductors to be simply pushed into a unit Compact design with 4.4 mm pole spacing 

- Components can be clearly printed on and color-coded to meet custom requirements 

- When assembled, the installation connectors complies with IP40 and are suitable for easily accessible areas 

## Note: 

All connectors for mounted installations (snap-in versions for lighting fixtures or devices, all types of PCB and distribution connectors) are factoryequipped with locking levers to ensure plugs and sockets are securely locked. Additional locking levers are only required for flying leads (plug /socket). 

## Note on mismating protection: 

All WINSTA® components are 100% protected against mismating when: 

a.) plugging different numbers of poles 

b.) plugging while rotated 180 

c.) plugging while laterally staggered 

d.) plugging one pole

## Handling Instructions 

1. Strip length, outer insulation = 30 mm (2pole), 37 mm (3-pole), 45 mm (4- and 5-pole) 

2. Strip length = 9 mm 

To terminate fine-stranded conductors, open the clamping unit via screwdriver (2.5 mm blade width) and insert a stripped conductor until it hits backstop. Terminate solid conductors by simply pushing them in. 

To terminate fine-stranded conductors, open clamping units via operating tool (890382) and insert stripped conductors until they hit backstop. 

3. Extended ground conductor = 8 mm 

Terminate solid conductors by simply pushing them in.

Latch the top of the strain relief housing. 

The printed marking of the connector is clearly visible in the openings of the strain relief housing. 

## Mismating protection 

B-coded connectors with different colors can be plugged together. 

B-coded connectors (shown in gray) not only differ in color, but also in their design, making them incompatible with other coded connectors. 

## Important note: 

Different colors and/or pole marking are used for circuit identification. 

Only connectors of the same color and same pole marking must be plugged together.
