WAGO Corporation's MCS-MIDI 231 and 721 Series Connectors feature Snap-in Flanges for drill-and fastener-free through-panel mounting. Intended for rectangular cut-outs, Snap-in Flanges eliminate drilling, screws and other components associated with through-panel applications. Part of WAGO's Multi-Connection System, the Connectors accept all conductors AWG 28-12 and carry ratings up to 600V/20A.

Providing wire-to-wire and board-to-wire connections, MCS-MIDI Through-Panel/Snap-in Connectors are compatible with panels ranging from 0.5-2.5mm thick. Configurations range from 2-24 poles; pin spacings span 5, 5.08, 7.5 or 7.62mm. CAGE CLAMP® and CAGE CLAMP®S Spring Pressure provide vibration-proof, gas-tight and maintenance-free connections.

Applications include elevators, drives, multimedia displays (common to transit systems) and replacing studs in rail control panels (MCS-MIDI expedites box swaps). MCS-MIDI has reduced warranty costs by approximately 80% for a transportation-loading system OEM.

MCS-MIDI Classic male connectors provide easy cable pre-assembly and on-unit wiring via vertical and horizontal CAGE CLAMP® actuation. Options: coding keys and insulation stops, as well as strain relief pates and housings.

721 Series male and female connectors are 100% protected from mismating, carry on-unit test ports and prevent accidental disconnection via locking latch. 721 Series provides a testing port and marking via self-adhesive strips or factory-direct printing. Options: coding and strain relief; a preceding ground contact is optional on 3-5 pole male connectors.
