This can't use the breadboard and has to be a bit more sophisticated. I am using the din rails and some 3d printed parts. The only issue I have is how do I create a common ground or power for 3-5 other devices. I have seen some terminal blocks on your channel but it seems that they could be an overkill for the tiny connectors that the Arduino uses for most of its sensors. Any ideas gentlemen would be appreciated.

Yes, a really lovely in line connection Really love all WAGO stuff! BUT... there's always a but.. Many lighting jobs require a loop in and a loop out for, say, 4 downlights operated by a single switch- very common. The problem with existing WAGO boxes is that all the cables come in at one end. The result is that it's difficult to pull the box out of the ceiling through the downlighter. Looping the feed in and out of one end, and the downlighter connection at the other end would be really elegant. What think you please??

Would be interesting to ask Wago why 4mm² Class 2 conductors are not supported. It seems like a strange limitation and a particular PITA with typical UK cable types. Perhaps less of an issue with german cables (IIRC 4mm² NYY-J is solid)

@Morberis 2 жыл бұрын

Hmm, I don't know how it works with you metric wire types but 4mm² is the equivalent of 12awg. But in awg sizes stranded wire has a slightly larger physical size than solid wire. So maybe it's related to that?

@petermichaelgreen 2 жыл бұрын

@@Morberis IIRC yes stranded (class 2) is allowed to be slightly larger than solid (class 1), but fine stranded (class 5) conductors are allowed to be slightly larger still. So it's odd to support 4mm² solid and 4mm² fine stranded but not 4mm² stranded.

@Morberis 2 жыл бұрын

@@petermichaelgreen That is very odd. I didn't notice that they were rated for finely stranded. The Canadian version of their website lists them as compatible with solid, stranded, and finely stranded. But over here it would be very very odd for something to be rated for #12 solid but not #12 stranded or finely stranded. It basically has to fit any #12 wire. Though requiring ferrules is allowed.

@crisnmaryfam7344 9 ай бұрын

actually I take that back these are 18-14 gauge ones, so 12 wouldnt be considered Bueno. Hwoever the ones I have and purchased form amazon are - "[PERFECT SPECIFICATIONS]: The lever nuts that are 412, 413, and 415 accommodate stranded wires from 0.14 to 4 mm², as well as solid and fine-stranded wires from 0.2 to 4 mm² (24-12 AWG). 221-2401 accommodate solid wires from 20-12 AWG. Ratings up to 32 A/450 V and 105°C maximum continuous operating temperature allow the 221 Series Splicing Connectors to be used at ambient temperatures up to 85 °C (T85), making them ideal for small and large loads. Furthermore, approvals like ENEC or UL allow them to be used in worldwide applications. That would be why I immediately thought "That wire works" because.. it does with the ones im used to using. "Wago Wire Connectors 90 pcs, 221 Series Electrical Connectors Assortment with Case" on amazon $40 Usd. Contains 25x WAGO 221-2401, 30x WAGO 221-412, 25x WAGO 221-413, 10x WAGO 221-415

And for their next trick? 2 into 1, stacked (staggered like a pyramid) and maybe 3 into 1 inline connectors. You can see that coming. A 2 into 1 allowing you to splice into a ring final with a spur. Maybe 3 into 1 to take switched power to three light pendants in one?

Should just discouraged use of rings and not matching CPC sizes.

Probing wires with the wagobox is too easy. Just kidding. The chandelier in my yacht could use these. I can't stop.

I find it very amusing that the electrical industry in the uk has only just discovered the use of connectors like the WAGO system. They've been using em for ages in other countries but as usual we're at the back of the queue, in the british electrical industry. We're so backward at coming forward it's laughable because we like to think the 'british way' is the only way ! Great to see the industry is open to new ideas and technology now but fgs it's took em long enough !!!

Really? Dont know where you've been hiding. Ive been using connectors like helicons & wagos for years, as have most electricians I know, so not a recent discovery at all.

Could anyone tell me the wago product number for the WAGO MOUNTING CARRIER for the light junction box shown on this video. Is it 221-2533 or 221-2523? Does that include the click in/interface piece which clicks into the wago junction box light 207-3303? Thanks

Wagos are the most German thing imaginable. An over-engineered solution to a problem that is worse than the previous methods, but looks better.

The big flaw or inconvenience that I see with these connectors (which I have been using daily for years), is that they only come for 5 simultaneous connections at the same time, which is insufficient when making a record and connecting the cables in star... It would be great if the manufacturer made them with up to 10 connections.

Wago make a mounting carrier that holds 2x 5-way connectors with a jumper to give an 8-way setup.

there is a Version for up to 8 Wires and 2,5mm², but only for Solid Wires (number being 2273-208 ).. i think its even slightly smaller than the 5-way 221.
