Funny story, I had access to a tensiometer machine a few years back and we tested a wago 222 connector. We wern't supposed to but we had a play on it during our lunch break. We used a bit of tinned 1.5mm multicore wire and clamped it into the wago connector. We then put it into the tensiometer and let her rip. We applied 80kg of force to the wire before it finally let go! That's like hanging a washing machine from it! very impressive.

I installed three Sunco 4 Inch Ultra Thin LED lights in my kitchen above the sink. The light units only last several months before they radically dim. It was a pain to replace all three lights the other day because the one in the middle has 2 sets of 4 wires under wire nuts. I want to thank you for your video because it shows you can release the lever if you need to pull a wire loose. This will make it so much easier to replace the lights in the future.

I couldn't agree more, I rarely get into doing electrics but when I do, the Wago 221's are excellent for all the reasons you've stated. Lets be honest they aren't even that expensive. £20 for a box of 50 3-ways. The amount of time you'll save faffing around with the screw in type connectors is well worth the extra expense. Plus it actually makes a job enjoyable, rather than a pain. Not a fan of the push connectors because you can't undo them.

Hi, just want to add, for stranded(flexible) cables, only the 221 are suitable as is. For the screwed terminal blocks and most connectors with screws(there are some exemptions) you really need wire end ferrules for a good secure connection, or soldering for direct connection to printed circuit board and such. The 2nd type connector you showed are really just for solid wires.

The grey lever connectors are my favorite, they clamp harder than the transparent ones and can tollerate more moisture before they fail. I use these a lot in the automotive work since they can and will be outside a vehicle in boxes under the cars etc, even inside a caravan during winter you will get a lot of condensation during winter and I never needed to replace a grey one but many times the transparent ones. however both are good and beyond if you compare to a sugar cube or even just flat pin connectors as they often use in the HV terminals as well inside these vehicles. caravans are a complete jungle of standards when you compare to houses and everyone uses everything they get their hands on for the cheapest price without a care in the world

- It is often not clear what the current carrying capacity of the screw terminals is. This is often only 1 or 2 amps. - Push fit connectors are not approved for flexible wires. The wire can be removed by twisting. - With lever clamps, a rigid wire can be inserted without opening the lever. If the wires are flexible, the lever must be opened. But the disadvantage is that these are only suitable up to 4mm ² and 32A. There is also the larger 221 variant up to 6mm² and 41A

I’m not sure if the 222 Wago does this but I know the 221 have a nice feature where you don’t even have to lift the lever to insert your cable. You can just push solid core in and they’ll lock and only release with the lever. Love this feature.

Stranded wire in the bus bar type should have a ferrule crimped on the wire before putting it in the terminal and tightening the screw. The push in Ideal and Wago's style connectors are also reusable. Twist back and forth while pulling on the wire. It will come out. The thin stranded wires can be tinned with solder and they will push in easily.

I might be old school but electrically, for cables above 1.5 I think that two cables both long enough to have 2 screws biting down on them in an appropriate size connector block is a better connection. This way you end up with copper against copper which must be better than copper-wago spring-wago spring-copper. I'd welcome feedback on this.

@unitrader403 Жыл бұрын

Just FYI: the Spring in the Wago Connectors is never designed to carry current, it is purely to provide the necessary tension to push the wire against the bus bar (which is made from Copper afaik) also screw terminals screw up the wire. especially if you over-torque them.. (if you torque them to maximum compression and have temperature cycles you might end up with a loose connection: when the connection expands it has to shove the material to the sides, and since it was compressed to the maximum before the copper lost its elasticity so when it cools down and shrinks you now have a tiny gap)

@richardpawlowski4540 Жыл бұрын

Wago connectors can be used in “maintenance free” situations such as your stud wall where access will not be available later. However, there are some conditions firstly you cannot simply leave the wires and conductors just loose in the cavity, they need to be in an enclosure ie. a Wago box. If using a Wago box you need to seal it with a cable tie through the loop provided. Furthermore if the circuit is a ring circuit there is only one Wago push fit type of connector you are allowed to use the code escapes for the moment but it is detailed on the instruction sheet that comes with the Wago box.

There's something about the wago connectors that most people seem not noticing. It is: when you intend to test their terminals for voltage, it's almost impossible to do this, when the terminals are possibly live.

@unitrader403 Жыл бұрын

every wago connector has at least one hole specifically for inserting test probes (they just provide accass to an voltage carrying part, but dont clamp down on the test leads) For the 222s is is the rectangular hole above the Levers, for the push-ins there is a round hole on the opposite side where the wires are inserted. In case of the 221s they have at least two test lead holes - one is next to the holes for the Wire, and the other is on the opposite side

I've recently started replacing all of the sockets and switches in my house and I've had one troublesome one in the kitchen. It's an inch from the ceiling above the cooker (used for the extractor fan) and so trying to put the new socket on is hurting my brain. The cables are really short, they won't stay seated in the terminals because I'm having to twist everything just to get the screwdriver in, and twisting it back pulls them out. Would the lever connectors be the best option to extend the cables and get a quick, safe connection? Also what size/rating should I use?

@unitrader403 Жыл бұрын

sounds like a perfect fit for the wago 221-2411 to extend the wires. although a 3way might be be better if you have more than one cable in there (just a tiny bit less ideal to use, if you have the option)
