Even after decades use, galvanic corro-
sion between the chrome nickel spring steel
(in connection with the contact materials
used WAGO) and the connected copper
conductors has been detected. Samples
loaded with 500 N/mm² temperature of
250°C (482°F) showed relaxation only
1. This protects the contact area
against corrosion.
Every WAGO clamping spring made of
high-quality, accurately tested austenitic
chrome nickel steel (CrNi) with high tensile
strength, which boasts proven corrosion
resistance through long-term usage.
The special tin layer, which the standard
layer for all current-carrying parts WAGO
products, ensures perfect long-term protec-
tion against corrosive substances.32

WAGO only accepts deliveries chrome

The thick tin layer also ensures good solder-
ability both PCB terminal block and con-
nector solder pins.
This treatment reduces internal stress due to
the material’s mechanical deformation, which
may result slight brown discoloration of

In certain product lines, the clamping springs
are thermally treated temperatures
between 350°C (662°F) and 420°C (788°F)
after production.
At the clamping unit, the conductor is
