How to Choose the Right Push-in Connector
When selecting the right push-in connectors, several factors are important:
- Wire type: Check whether the connector is suitable for your wire type (solid, stranded, or multi-core). The Wago 221 and 222 series are versatile, while the 2273 series specifically supports solid and multi-core wires.
- Wire diameter: Ensure that the connection range matches the cross-section of your wires, indicated in square millimeters (mm²).
- Number of conductors: Determine how many wires you want to connect together. Wago push-in connectors are available in versions for 2, 3, 4, 5 or more conductors.
- Space: If space is limited, the compact Wago 2273 and 221 series are an excellent choice.
Safe and Easy Wiring with Push-in Connectors
Connecting wires with Wago push-in connectors is streamlined, provided safety regulations are followed:
- Switch off the power: Always start by de-energizing the installation at the electrical panel for safe operation.
- Strip the wires: Use a wire stripper to remove insulation over the recommended length, usually about 9 to 11 mm. The exact length is often marked on the terminal itself or in the manual.
- Open the terminal (if needed): For Wago 221 and 222 series, open the orange lever. For the Wago 2273 series, simply push the wire in.
- Insert the wire: Insert the stripped wire fully into the terminal until it is secured. For the Wago 221 and 222 series, close the lever to lock the wire. Ensure no copper is visible outside the terminal.
- Check the connection: Gently pull on the wire to ensure it is properly secured. The transparent casing of the Wago 221 and 2273 series allows for a visual check of the correct insertion depth.
- Switch the power back on: After all connections have been completed and checked, the power can be switched back on.
