Wago's TOP JOB S block: a misstamped spring that can burn a board
An incorrectly stamped spring can overheat at the contact point — serious fire and explosion risk. UK recall 28 May 2026 (PSD 2507-0107); withdrawn from users.
WAGO · 2026-05-28
What happened
Wago Limited recalled the TOP JOB S terminal block 2507-0107 — block types TOPJOB S 2204, 2104 and 2216 — on May 28, 2026, UK PSD case 2507-0107. WAGO is headquartered in Minden, Germany.
The blocks carry an incorrectly stamped spring that can heat at the contact point — thermal damage, and a serious risk of fire and explosion where the blocks are wired into panels and machines.
The product has been recalled from end users by Wago Limited. A spring stamped wrong at the factory is a fire waiting in someone else's wall.
Why it happened
- An incorrectly stamped spring can overheat at the contact point — serious risk of fire and explosion; UK recall May 28, 2026, PSD 2507-0107
- Terminal blocks sit inside panels and machines — the hazard is wired into installations that are hard to open and easy to forget
- The recall runs from Wago to the end user directly — the component maker reaches past the panel builder to the wall
The lesson
A terminal block is a promise that the joint holds — a misstamped spring breaks it in the one place nobody can see, and the recall travels the whole chain backwards to reach it.
