Power connection elements: WAGO connectors, power cables and DC connectors

Power connection components such as WAGO connectors, power cords and DC connectors are key connection components in any electrical system. Here are some of the high-speed multiple connection systems we offer:

I) WAGO connectors

WAGO connectors are extremely popular among professionals in the electrical industry. Here are some interesting facts about these extremely practical connectors:

• Ease of use: Solid and stranded cables with ferrules simply plug in – quickly and without tools¹.
• Safety: Thanks to the use of WAGO multi-level installation connectors with N disconnection, you can correctly measure insulation resistance in accordance with standards without disconnecting the cables.
• Space saving: WAGO TOPJOB stacked installation connectors ® S allow for quick and safe execution of electrical installations in buildings because they are designed to save space for cabling in standard distribution cabinets.

II) CCA and OFC power cables: comparison

Power cables are an integral part of every audio system. Choosing the right cable can have a significant impact on sound quality. Two common types of cables are CCA (Copper-Clad Aluminum) and OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper). Here are some interesting facts about them:

CCA (Copper-Clad Aluminum)

CCA is a cable with an aluminum core covered with a layer of copper.

OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper)

OFC are cables made of oxygen-free copper. They are often chosen for their excellent conductive properties. 

Comparison of CCA and OFC

When choosing between CCA and OFC cables, there are several factors to consider. CCA cables are cheaper and lighter, but may not offer the same sound quality as OFC cables. On the other hand, OFC cables are more expensive, but offer better sound quality and are more resistant to corrosion.

III) DC connectors

DC connectors are a key element in DC power systems. Here are some interesting facts about them:

• Variety: Various plug standards are used in electric cars. Some allow charging with alternating current, others with direct current, and some with both.
• Standards: In Europe, the standard today is the extended version of the Type 2 connector, i.e. CSS Combo 2, while in the USA the standard is the Type 1 extension –– CSS Combo 1.

In summary, power connection components such as WAGO connectors, power cords and DC connectors are essential to the proper functioning of any electrical system. Whether you are an electrical professional or a hobbyist, these items are essential to understanding the basics of electricity.
