# Wiring the Power Distribution Hub
## Power Distribution Hub Wiring Diagram
{% hint style="danger" %}
Always make sure the the Power Distribution Hub is disconnected from any power source before adding or modifying connections.

### Latching WAGO Terminals: Battery Input and High-Current Channels
* For Battery Input use 18 to 4 AWG Wire, Stripped back \~0.75” (20mm)
* For High-Current Channels use 24 to 8 AWG Wire, Stripped back \~0.5” (12mm)
* Flip open the lever with an upward motion.
* You can open the lever all the way to have it stay open or you can open it half way for quick wire changes.
* Insert stripped wire into connector opening.
* Push down the lever.
* Test the wire by giving it a **smart tug** to ensure wire is connected securely.
* Visually inspect to make sure no stray wires are outside of the connector port.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Smart Tug** - tugging on a wire to test the connection with a reasonable amount of force.
{% endhint %}
### Push-Button WAGO Terminals: CAN and Low-Current Channels
* Use 24 to 18 AWG Wire, Stripped back \~0.35” (8mm)
* Press and hold down connector button.
* Insert stripped wire into connector opening.
* Release connector button.
* Test the wire by giving it a **smart tug** to ensure wire is connected securely.
* Visually inspect to make sure no stray wires are outside of the connector port.
### Circuit Breakers
* Carefully insert the Circuit Breaker (CB) directly into the circuit breaker holder. Ensure that the blades of the circuit breaker slide into the circuit breaker holder.
* Circuit breakers should not be loose or move at all when inserted correctly.
* If the circuit breaker is loose, remove the circuit breaker and make sure you can see the opening on the circuit breaker holder, then reinsert into the holder.
* New circuit breaker holders fit circuit breakers tightly. This can make it hard to pull out the circuit breaker.
{% hint style="success" %}
Over time circuit breaker holders will become easier to use and stay snug!

* When removing a circuit breaker, make sure to rock the circuit breaker back and forth to make it easier to pull up on.
* Insert stripped wire into connector opening.
* Push down the lever.
* Test the wire by giving it a **smart tug** to ensure wire is connected securely.
* Visually inspect to make sure no stray wires are outside of the connector port.
