Setting up the wiring of the control system and it says to put the wires of the 12V/5V converter into a WAGO connector and then plug that into the Power Distribution Board. I know this seems very simple but we have no clue how to get the wires of the 12/5 into the WAGO. Any help would be awesome ^.^
There's slots at the bottom that you insert a 1/8th in flat head and push into the connector to open up the jaws then insert the wire into.
Here is an image of what the properly set up a WAGO connector for the DC converter.

You insert a flathead screwdriver into the side opposite the wire, and push the handle away from the wire position (up in the picture) in order to insert the wire.

Anthony,
The confusion begins when two different connectors are both manufactured by WAGO. The 12/5 convertor connects to a gray WAGO connector that is loose in the KOP electrical. #18 wire is the max size for this connector. It has two terminals in it.
This is not referring to the red and black WAGO terminals on edge of the PD.
