Compact splicing connectors for all wire types are small and easy to use

Stocked by RS Components, WAGO's 221 Series COMPACT splicing connectors for all wire types set new standards. This new series is 40% smaller and even more user-friendly than its predecessor, the 222 Series. Their new series tool free lever operated connectors for electrical installations allow solid, stranded and fine-stranded wires to be connected faster, more reliably, while minimising the amount of space in junction boxes. This is not just made possible by their compact design, but also by their transparent housing, easier handling and two test ports. The transparent housing allows you to clearly see see if the wires are connected properly and stripped to the correct length. Furthermore, two easily accessible test ports, one in the wire entry direction and one opposite this, provide easy test conditions, even when installed. The company’s splicing connectors are also easier to use - the operating levers can now be opened and closed using noticeably less force. Lateral hollowed-out grips provide a firm hold on the connectors in any situation. The two wire and five wire connectors accommodate stranded wires from 0.14mm² to 4mm², as well as solid and fine-stranded wires from 0.2mm² to 4mm² (24–12 AWG). They are, therefore, ideally suited to connect different wire sizes and types to each other. Tinned current bars ensure a permanent, gas-tight and secure wire connection. Ratings up to 32A/450V and 105C maximum continuous operating temperature allow the connectors to be used at ambient temperatures up to 85C (T85), making them ideal for small and large loads. Furthermore, approvals like ENEC or UL allow them to be used in worldwide applications.
