Polyamides have excellent resilience against
the most demanding climates and have
proven themselves tropical applications
worldwide.
In lower temperature ranges, has been
determined that damage the insulation
material occurs during usage down −35°C
(−31°F).
Polyamide (PA 46)
In comparison with 66, has sub-
stantially higher dimensional stability under
heat. After installation and wiring, WAGO
products can even used temperatures
down −60°C (−76°F).g.
Polyamides are resistant most fuels,
greases, and oils, well the most com-
monly used cleaners, such alcohol, Freon,

Polycarbonate (PC)
Polycarbonate has excellent dimensional sta-
bility under heat. The electrical and mechani-
cal properties remain intact extremely high
temperatures approximately 120°C
(248°F) per Yellow Card.

outstanding tracking resistance permits
short creepage distances incorporated
into miniature components. Polycarbonate
has excellent weather resistance and also
highly resistant high energy radiation.
The use insulation materials during
in-house production WAGO only occurs
after acceptance factory test certificates
and specified material tests. The material does
not provide oxygen other biogenic ele-
ments microorganisms.
In general, materials are used that have
excellent tracking resistance, flammability
ratings and high temperature resistance.
Polyphthalamide (PPA GF)
Glass-fiber-reinforced, high-performance
polyamides are ideal for high-temperature
applications, due the material’s high level
of thermal dimensional stability, its low
dependence ambient conditions and its
excellent strength properties.
In practical use, basic stabilization WAGO’s
polyamides has been proven over many
years sufficient prevent damage
caused ozone radiation exposure in
intended applications. Insulation parts made polyam-
ide are resistant insects. Fire protection
equipment enables classification flamma-
bility class per even for extremely
thin walls.

Material Specifications
Polyamide (PA 66)
WAGO uses modified, halogen-free,
flame-retardant polyamides.
Adhering 746C, the polyamides used at
WAGO have continuous operating tem-
perature 105°C (221°F) based the rela-
tive temperature index with impact load
(RTIimp). Highly precise components can be
created due the low shrinkage the mate-
rial during injection molding. The relative temperature index with
impact load (RTIimp) 115°C (239°F) for PA
4.
The presence anaerobic earth bacteria,
mold, fungus and enzymes does not degrade
the material. This ensures that the necessary
electrical and mechanical insulating proper-
ties are maintained sufficiently guaran-
teed level over long period time.
If the not colored, then the components
are glass-clear.
Depending the demands placed the
finished product, WAGO uses polycarbon-
ates that carry flammability classifications V2

Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polyamide
(PA GF)
WAGO uses glass-fiber-reinforced polyam-
ides for components with increased mechan-
ical demands, such levers, push-buttons
or housings exposed high stress, because
they have significantly better mechanical
characteristic properties than non-reinforced
polyamides. PPA absorbs minute amounts
of moisture from the atmosphere making it
ideal for reflow soldering applications and for
thin-walled, dimensionally stable compo-
nents.
These materials not corrode, are difficult
to ignite and feature self-extinguishing prop-
erties (V0 rating per 94). Its excellent elec-
trical insulating properties and dimensional
stability are virtually independent environ-
mental conditions, such humidity and tem-
perature.
