WAGO 221-485 Connection Terminal

Safety note 1:
The permissible working voltage of the terminal with adapter (440 V or 275 V) depends on the installation method.
Safety note 2:
Approved only in conjunction with mounting adapter (WAGO 221-501). The terminals must be installed in a housing that meets the requirements of a recognized type of protection according to EN 60079-0, section 1 or EN 60079-31. When installing the terminals in an enclosure of the “eb” type of protection in accordance with EN 60079-7, the clearances and creepage distances in accordance with Table 2 of this standard must be observed. Regarding the use of accessories, see point 1. The terminals can be used in both Group II and Group I, as the standard requirements are identical in this case.
The use of this component requires a new assessment by a designated site.
