It employs a dual-purpose spring design that applies the force of one Cage Clamp’s contact spring for connector integrity. According to Wago, the PicoMax offers a 30 percent space reduction for wire-to-board applications as well as segment-leading vibration-resistance. Operating temperatures are as high as 125° C. PicoMAX is based on a male header and female connector design. The dynamic contact force from one Cr-Ni stainless steel spring clamps conductors and connects the header pin. A truncated contact bridge separates the termination unit from the header pin. Integrated push-buttons provide terminations for stranded conductors. Select units carry gripping plates with sliding connector releases. An unlocking tool is available for units without gripping plates. Picomax is available in 2–12 pole configurations for wire-to-wire, wire-to-board, board-to-wire and panel feed-through variants. It accommodates conductors 24–12 AWG and carries ratings up to 15 A/300 V. 3.5 mm, 5 mm or 7.5 mm pin spacing.
