Wago 221

[mobiledynamics]

For those who have seen a sample/demo of the Wago 221, how SMALL in profile is it.

I'll be making a bunch of splices in a splice box. Single Wire - 12AWG.
Just wanted to keep things neat and tidy.

For those that have seen the Wago 221 and comparing it to let's say a 3M Blue/Orange Connector, which one will give me a smaller ~splice~ profile.

Not sure where you are located, but I do not believe the Wago 221 is available yet in the US. It can be ordered and sent from outside the US however. The 222 is available but is larger.

I believe the 221 would give the cleanest install as opposed to wire nuts. Internally it is rated for 32 Amps but max wire size is 12ga so is rated for 20 Amps.

Just used the 222's for the first time - pretty cool - very handy for electrical projects (home automation, adding or removing wires over time). Looking forward to the 221's being available in the US - the 222's are a bit big.

try the 773's

773 is not lever action, but would make for a small, neat installation. They can be removed once installed with a twisting motion, just not as handy as the lever on the 222 or 221.

I just bought some 222s and really like them. Here's a pic of a couple with a nickel for reference.

The 221 series are indeed delayed in the USA.

There's a quick look over at TG for those who have no idea what we're talking about: http://toolguyd.com/wago-wiring-lever-connectors-221-series/

222s >> 773, but they're also designed for different types of usage.
