Another milestone in the company's history occurred in 1961 when Wolfgang Hohorst joined the company with the idea of a spring pressure connection technology, which became a better, safer, and more economical solution, setting a new direction for the company. However, the breakthrough decade for the company was the years 1974 - 1977 when Wago introduced push-in terminal blocks for solid wires, PUSH WIRE, and later on CAGE CLAMP terminal blocks for all types of conductors.
These product types continued to be improved through further innovations, enabling their use in very confined spaces. The company experienced its greatest growth in history from 1990 to 1998 when it expanded into the United Kingdom, India, China, and Italy.
The brand’s portfolio includes:
Electrical connecting elements that are maintenance-free, safe, with simple assembly and we can divide them into:
- Terminal blocks for DIN rail, which are completely maintenance-free and vibration-resistant. They are characterized by easy and quick installation and cost optimization.
- Terminal blocks for electrical installation, which are really easy to use, compact, and time and cost-saving. They are mainly used in distribution electrical installation boxes.
- Plug-in connectors that allow for quick and easy connection of cables to PCBs, control units, and the like.
- Terminal blocks and connectors for PCBs, enabling simple, safe, and fast connection of conductors in devices. They find their use in almost all branches of electronics and electrical engineering.
- Terminal blocks for power cables, ensuring trouble-free connection of lights and devices to the power cable anywhere in the world, regardless of the application.
- Connection components that allow fixed or detachable connections, where attachment to the connecting element can be secured by soldering or sliding the conductors. Read more
Electronic interface systems that combine ease of use and maintenance, low investment costs and security with availability and can be used in a wide range of modern equipment. The Wago company brings different types of these interfaces, and we can divide them into:
- Signal conditioners and isolation amplifiers designed for isolating, amplifying, filtering, and modifying signals in various types of devices.
- Current transformers and voltage taps, used wherever it is necessary to measure high current or voltage in existing systems.
- Power supply modules, representing a reliable and efficient solution for providing a constant power supply for a wide range of applications.
- Relay and opto-coupler modules, finding their application in a wide range of applications, especially in industrial control systems for managing production mechanisms.
- Interface modules, allowing for safe and maintenance-free connections for applications that utilize conductors for signal transmission. They ensure a connection between peripheral parts of a device and its control unit.
- System cabling designed for quick, secure, and easy interconnection of automation and instrument elements. This saves time and costs in the design, manufacturing, and installation of interconnection components.
- Surge protection and special electronics enabling uninterrupted and trouble-free operation of electronic and electrical devices.
The elements of automation technology, which are versatile and offer open standards, simplify the production process and the use of smart applications in buildings. We can divide them into elements such as:
- Software that allows automation devices, systems, and buildings to operate more efficiently and provides better control and management.
- Touch panels and displays that enable simpler and faster interaction between the device and the person.
- Controllers that ensure the rapid and efficient processing of requests in the automation process, significantly reducing production costs.
- I/O systems that enable automation wherever needed, even in demanding industrial conditions, and can be integrated directly into the device or serve as external devices.
- Industrial switches that provide stable and reliable network solutions with low operating costs.
- Sensor and actuator connection boxes, which are fully plug-and-play and meet the IP67 standard, allowing them to operate outside of distribution panels.
- Wago Edge controllers and computers offering high computational power tailored to the requirements of devices directly in the industrial field.
- Accessories, tools, and labeling elements such as side plates for terminal blocks, connectors, screwdrivers, insulation knives and pliers, crimping tools, labeling sleeves, tags, label printers, and more.
