April 23, 2024
Small product, big impact: Five decades ago, the company revolutionized connection technology in electrical installation with the splicing connector. The phrase “Got to have a WAGO” has been firmly anchored in the vocabulary of every professional electrician since its launch in 1974.
Even today, “WAGO” stands for speed, safety and maintenance-free operation – and enthuses millions of electricians about their daily challenges. To celebrate the 50th anniversary, we really let it crash and celebrate the legend with a birthday anthem!

Green Range 221 Series Splicing Connector from WAGO
Nothing is too small to make a positive impact on our environment. Therefore, the comany has reimagined one of their best-known products – the 221 Series Splicing Connector. A variant made of partially bio-circular and recycled plastics has been created to keep existing resources in circulation. The connector thus lays a more sustainable footprint right at the start of the installation. The new connector from the Green Range family is a first step towards sustainable development since every big change begins with a first small step.

WAGO’s New IO-Link Converter
WAGO’s new IO-Link Converter is a 4-20 mA analog input with a digital display incorporating analog signals into a digital communication network for sensors and actuators from the field into an IO-Link-capable system.
The Analog/IO-Link Converter provides an economical, compact solution for easily incorporating conventional analog sensors and actuators into an IO-Link-capable system like the WAGO I/O System Field, depending on their type. This allows reliable, cost-effective, interference-immune acquisition and output of analog signals. Digital communication can easily be introduced (retrofitted) when old systems are modernized. The converter can be configured directly on the device via IO-Link. A compact design, IP67 protection and the high operating temperature range make the Analog/IO-Link Converter ideal for automation without control cabinets.

Maximizing Motor Efficiency: Navigating the Impact of VFDs on Motors
Running a motor directly from the power source produces uniform, sinusoidal waveforms but wastes energy due to continuous speed operation regardless of the load requirements. To enhance efficiency, variable frequency drives (VFDs) control motor speed, reduce energy consumption, and minimize equipment wear. However, VFDs use pulse-width modulation (PWM) to supply electrical pulses instead of a true voltage waveform, generating harmful harmonics that can damage motors, cables, and bearings. This article discusses: what level of motor protection do you need?
