14     UL Specifications – Underwriters Laboratories, USA


  600
        WAGO terminal blocks and connectors are tested by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. according to one or more of the relevant fol-
        lowing UL standards:


                                ®
        –  The 273 Series PUSH WIRE  connectors for junction boxes   UL 486 C     Splicing wire connectors
         or the 224 Series lighting connectors are “splicing wire con-
         nectors” and are certified to UL 486C. These stand-alone
         devices carry the UL Listing Mark u.
        –  Rail-mounted terminal blocks or modular terminal blocks   UL 1059     Standard for terminal blocks
                              ®
         (e.g., 280 Series, TOPJOB S or 260 to 262 Series terminal   UL 486 E     Equipment wiring terminals for use with
         blocks) are approved as non-stand-alone components             aluminum and/or copper conductors
         according to UL 1059 in connection with UL 486E.
               ®
        –  X-COM  connectors are approved as “terminal blocks”
         according to UL 1059 in connection with UL 486E. They are
         defined for “field and factory wiring“ with a voltage of
         300V.
        –  Furthermore, these connectors are approved as “connectors   UL 1977     Component connectors for use in data, signal,
         for use in data, signal, control and power applications” per   control and power applications
         UL 1977 for “factory wiring” with 600V (i.e., the clamping
         unit shall be wired under controlled manufacturing condi-
         tions).
        –  Ex e II terminal blocks are approved to UL 60079-7.  UL 60079-7   Electrical apparatus for explosive gas
                                                                        atmospheres – Part 7: Increased safety
        –  Ground terminal blocks are tested for grounding and bond-  UL 467     Grounding and bonding equipment
         ing applications in accordance with UL 467. Components
         bearing the UL Recognition Mark U are “recognized
         products.” Additionally, after being mounted in their special
         applications, these components are submitted to an end-
         product test according to the relevant device or equipment
         standard.
        –  Insulating materials are tested for flammability and perfor-  UL 94     Tests for flammability of plastic materials for parts
         mance in accordance with UL 94.                                in devices and appliances
