The WAGO 736-306 is a double-deck PCB terminal block designed for efficient wiring in confined spaces. It's ideal for engineers and technicians needing to manage multiple conductors with a high-density solution. A key benefit is its space-saving double-deck design and screwdriver-actuated CAGE CLAMP connection. One potential consideration is its fixed pole configuration, which might not suit all project variations.

FAQs
What is the maximum current rating for the WAGO 736-306?
The WAGO 736-306 has a current rating of 21A.
What type of conductor connections does this terminal block use?
It uses the screwdriver-actuated CAGE CLAMP® connection system for secure termination.
Can I use stranded and solid conductors with this block?
Yes, the CAGE CLAMP® system is designed to accommodate both solid and finely stranded conductors up to 2.5 mm².
What is the operating temperature range?
The terminal block can operate in a temperature range of -60 to 105 °C.
How does the double-deck design benefit me?
The double-deck design allows for a higher density of connections on the PCB, saving valuable space compared to single-level terminal blocks.
Can I use this terminal block for commoning multiple potentials?
Yes, the terminal strips are equipped with commoning strips, making it easy to distribute potentials across the block.
Troubleshooting
Conductor not making secure connection
Ensure the conductor is stripped to the correct length and fully inserted into the terminal. Verify that the correct conductor size (up to 2.5 mm²) is being used. Check if the CAGE CLAMP® screw has been properly actuated with a screwdriver.
Terminal block feels loose on the PCB
Confirm that the PCB has the correct 5.08mm pin spacing. Ensure the terminal block is correctly seated onto the PCB solder points. Check for any damage to the terminal block's pins or the PCB's mounting holes.
Marking is difficult to read or smudged
Ensure custom inkjet marking is applied by a qualified service or supplier. Clean the terminal block surface gently if dirt is obscuring the marking. For critical applications, consider additional labeling methods.
Pros and Cons
Pros
High-density wiring saves valuable PCB space.
Secure and reliable CAGE CLAMP® connection.
Easy conductor termination with standard screwdrivers.
Customizable marking enhances traceability and reduces errors.
Suitable for a wide range of operating temperatures.
Cons
Fixed 6 x 2-pole configuration may limit flexibility for some designs.
Requires specific tools (screwdriver) for connection.
Orange color might not fit all aesthetic requirements.
Not suitable for applications requiring very high current ratings beyond 21A.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the PCB is designed to accommodate the 5.08mm pin spacing of the WAGO 736-306.
Strip the conductor ends to the appropriate length as recommended for the CAGE CLAMP® system (refer to WAGO documentation for precise strip lengths).
Insert the stripped conductor into the terminal opening. Ensure it is fully seated.
Using a suitable screwdriver, actuate the terminal screw to secure the conductor. Do not overtighten.
Compatibility:
Compatible with PCBs featuring a 5.08mm pin spacing.
Suitable for solid and finely stranded conductors up to 2.5 mm².
Recommended for use within its specified operating temperature range (-60 to 105 °C).
Care:
Keep the terminal block free from dust and moisture.
Periodically inspect connections for security, especially in environments with vibration.
Clean the area around the terminal block with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
