Name these connectors

TheJay · May 31, 2015

Hello there, I just wondered what these connector blocks are called and where I could get more of them? Do I just need a regular modular rachet crimp tool?

Rather use Wagos and no, you don't need a crimping tool.

Wago`s...few different types available, the ones in your photos are 773 series, Srewfix always keep a good stock.
Just push to fit, no crimping required

They are something similar to a wago, but made by someone else, probably ideal but could be hellerman etc.

You can buy them from your wholesalers

The ones in your picture are by Hellerman Tyton and called Helacon. In general terms they are called push in wire connectors. Or pushwire connectors for ones by wago
Your picture shows HECP-4 at the front and HECP-2 at the back.

As has been said above many makes available.

I like to use several makes myself, Helllerman Tyton do a 4 gang push it thats horizontal and not all square, and Ideal do a three way push in, and Wago do many others, I keep a stock of all different types as sometimes you might be really pushed for space and need a different shape connector, still say a 4 way, but horizontal nor bunched as it were.

Thank you all very much for your replies, that's really useful information. I did not realise these were available in places such as Screwfix.

screwfix stock or used to stock line connectors that look almost identical to wago
