With SNAP IN, installation and maintenance work can be performed as quickly as snapping your fingers.
The new connection is as simple in principle as it is to use: the stripped conductor is plugged directly into open connection points and the snap connection snaps into place with a click.
And it‘s just as fast the other way round. By simply activating the lever, the operator can open the connection point again and remove the connected conductor. SNAP IN is also easy to use with robots.

The SNAP IN connection technology was awarded the Best of Industry Award 2024 in the Automation category. After five months of voting and over 20,000 votes cast, the award was presented at a glamorous awards ceremony.
SNAP IN revolutionises connection technology, making work processes faster, more precise and ready-to-robot. Our technology is not only ready for Industry 4.0, but is actively driving the future forward – with fully automated and robot-assisted wiring.
SNAP IN convinced the “German Design Council” all along the line, so that the independent jury awarded Weidmüller the German Innovation Award 2022 for its innovative SNAP IN connection system. The German Innovation Award honours products and solutions across all industries, that distinguish themselves above all through user-centricity and added value compared to previous solutions. The German Innovation Award is the prize that makes innovations visible.
There are various connection technologies available for industrial wire connections. Each has its own specific properties and added value. As a pioneer in electrical connectivity, Weidmüller naturally has a wide range of these products in its portfolio – ensuring safe and reliable electrical connections.
SNAP IN is a delight: Simply insert the stripped conductor directly into the contact point – SNAP – finished in a flash!
No pre-processing of the conductor is required – open contact point and tool-free spring connection.
SNAP IN connection technology is not only unbeatably fast, but is also simple, secure and ready-to-robot. Completely comfortable and future-proof! It's well worth the effort.
SNAP IN is a tool-free connection technology for electronic wiring. Its use is steadily increasing across a range of products. The stripped conductor is plugged directly into the open contact point and clips into place automatically. This enables a particularly quick, simple and secure wiring.
Yes, flexible conductors can be connected directly without the need for tools. SNAP IN ensures a secure and gas-tight connection, both for solid conductors and for flexible conductors, with or without wire-end ferrules.
No, SNAP IN works entirely tool-free. The stripped conductor is simply inserted and makes contact automatically.
Yes, just like conventional spring connections, SNAP IN can also be used with wire-end ferules and solid conductors. Furthermore, flexible conductors can be connected directly to crimped wire-end ferrules without the need for tools.
SNAP IN can save up to 90% of the time required for wiring compared with crimped screw terminals, as the connection is made without tools and following a clearly defined process.
This time saving is particularly noticeable in applications with a large number of connection points and leads to measurable efficiency gains during installation.
The stripped conductor is plugged directly into the open contact point and clips into place automatically. The conductor to be connected contacts the contact point with a clearly audible “click”. The triggered contact point is also signalled visually by an increase in the pusher height.
Yes, the simple and straightforward connection process makes the wiring reproducible and significantly reduces errors. The conductor is inserted all the way into the contact point – that is precisely when the SNAP IN mechanism engages.
Yes, SNAP IN meets industrial requirements and has been tested in accordance with relevant standards such as UL 486E and IEC 61373. Spring connections are generally selected for applications involving vibration and shock. SNAP IN provides a permanently secure connection. SNAP IN meets the same requirements as established spring connections such as PUSH IN.
The officially approved number is around 20 insertion and removal cycles for plugs. In practice, it is often possible to carry out significantly more cycles.
To remove it, the conductor is released using a screwdriver or an appropriate tool. The spring is automatically re-tensioned in the process. An audible ‘click’ indicates that the connection is ready for the next SNAP IN connection – quick, secure and reliable.
Yes, SNAP IN is ideal for automated wiring processes and pre-assembled conductors.
The technology is future-proof and optimally designed to meet modern manufacturing requirements.
SNAP IN is particularly worthwhile where wiring is complex, as it reduces installation time, errors and rework, thereby delivering a clear economic advantage.
SNAP IN improves wiring efficiency, is simple to use and provides security.
SNAP IN enables significantly faster wiring, reduces errors and ensures a consistently high standard of quality in the connection process.
Furthermore, no tools are required, which makes installation easier.
