257-742

Optimized for automotive electronics, the 257-742 by WAGO Corporation sets new standards in Terminal Blocks - Wire to Board reliability. This vibration-resistant terminal block meets AEC-Q200 qualifications, making it ideal for engine control units and vehicle electrification systems. The 510KBA-BAAG's robust construction withstands temperature extremes and mechanical shock encountered in automotive environments.The 1 stacked design conserves valuable dashboard real estate. Automotive-grade interlocking features prevent level separation under 15G vibration loads.Providing 1 termination points, this configuration handles complex automotive wiring looms. Each position incorporates anti-fretting coatings that withstand 500+ thermal cycles.Horizontal with Board installation accommodates constrained vehicle packaging. The angled variants enable wire routing around structural members without exceeding bend radius limits.Rated for 15 A load capacity, the terminal block powers critical vehicle systems. Copper alloy contacts maintain stable resistance despite on-road vibration and thermal cycling.The 300 V rating exceeds automotive electrical system requirements. Self-cleaning contact surfaces prevent oxidation buildup in high-humidity environments.Compatible with 12-28 AWG automotive-grade cables, the termination resists wire fatigue. The clamping mechanism distributes stress evenly across stranded conductors.Through Hole attachment meets automotive shock and vibration standards. Press-fit versions eliminate solder joints that could fail under mechanical stress.The Screwless - Push Button Clamp system enables quick assembly line installation. Weatherproof seals prevent moisture ingress while allowing visual inspection of proper wire seating.Push Button Actuated include IP67-rated environmental protection. The integrated secondary locking mechanism prevents terminal backing out during vehicle operation.Gray coding complies with automotive wiring standards for circuit identification. The high-visibility pigments remain legible after 3000 hours of UV exposure.
