How to Choose the Right Push Wire Connector

When choosing the right push connectors, several factors are important:

• Wire type: Check whether the connector is suitable for the type of wire you are using (solid, stranded, or fine-stranded). The Wago 221 and 222 series are versatile, while the 2273 series is specifically for solid and fine-stranded wires.
• Wire diameter: Make sure the clamp's connection range matches the cross-section of your wires. This is indicated in square millimeters (mm²).
• Number of conductors: Determine how many wires you want to connect. Wago push connectors are available in versions for 2, 3, 4, 5, or more conductors.
• Space: When space is limited, the compact Wago 2273 and 221 series are an excellent choice.

Connecting Wires Safely and Easily With Push Connectors

Connecting wires with Wago push connectors is a streamlined process, provided that safety regulations are observed:

1. Turn off the power: Always start by shutting off power at the distribution board to work safely.
2. Strip the wires: Use a wire stripper to strip the wires to the recommended length, usually about 9 to 11 mm. The exact length is often indicated on the terminal or in the manual.
3. Open the clamp (if necessary): For the Wago 221 and 222 series, open the orange operating lever. For the Wago 2273 series, simply push the wire into the opening.
4. Insert the wire: Insert the stripped wire fully into the opening of the terminal until it is secured. For the Wago 221 and 222 series, close the lever to lock the wire. Ensure that no copper is visible outside the clamp.
5. Check the connection: Gently pull the wire to check if it is firmly secured. The transparent housing of the Wago 221 and 2273 series allows a visual check of the correct insertion depth.
6. Turn the power back on: Once all connections have been made and checked, you can turn the power back on.
