Why Engineers Search for WAGO 260 Equivalents
WAGO 260 series cage clamp terminal blocks are widely used in control cabinets, but lead times and pricing push many OEMs and distributors to look for qualified alternatives. The risk is choosing a clone that mismatches pitch, current rating or certification — causing rework. This guide helps you cross-reference safely.
Key Parameters to Match
Before substituting, confirm these four specs:
Pitch (e.g. 5.0 mm, 3.5 mm) — must match the PCB footprint.
Current / voltage rating — match or exceed the original (e.g. 260-301 ≈ 18 A / 800 V).
Connection type — cage clamp / push-in spring vs screw.
Mounting & certification — DIN rail or PCB, and whether UL/TÜV/CE/RoHS apply.
Model-by-Model Cross Reference
WAGO 260-301 (2-wire) — look for a 2-conductor cage clamp feed-through, 5.0 mm pitch, ~18 A. See our 260-301 cage clamp terminal block.
WAGO 260-331 (4-wire) — 4-conductor two-in-two-out cage clamp, same-side push-in. See 260-331 equivalent.
WAGO 260-110 / 260 series PCB types — compare our 260 series cage clamp blocks.
Sourcing Checklist
1. Request the datasheet and confirm pitch + current.
2. Ask for UL/TÜV/CE/RoHS certificates.
3. Order samples and test on your actual PCB/DIN rail.
4. Validate under load before mass production.
