in-line Wago connector

[pc1966]

Just seen these in a TLC advert for "221-2411 Inline Lever Connector":

Wago 221-2411 Compact Inline Lever Connector - 4mm²* 1 Pole | Wago_Connectors (221-2411)

Looks like a handy thing for some situations.

I have some of them for extending cables that are too short

All they need to do now is design a 3 way one and a small maintenance free box for it, then you can use them when people drill through a cable and the cable can't be replaced.

I found a kitchen recently that had lots of these:

In Line Spring Lever Connectors

Use these 32A spring lever connectors for an easy, fast-fit connection. The levers are a real time-saver, and the compact design makes them easier to work with in confined spaces.• 3 in 3 out inline lever connectors• Spring levers for easy, fast-fit connections• Colour-coded for live, neutral...

The containment for them was expanding foam filler.

Tel likes those. Probably not with the foam though!

I think that was the Wago connector that was Chinese copied... before Wago even made it ! Looks like Wago have now decided to make em...

I think they are still the unbranded ones. Not Wago.

I've used them - they are fine.

Yep, still not aware of an official Wago version.

I've never quite understood the 4mm in brackets. Is that if you have iron-bru and push very hard?!

Indeed, I've used them also.

Is it the stranded/solid size figures shown?

I have seen that with DIN terminals where the larger size is single solid core, and the smaller the stranded size. Odd, as I would have expected it the other way round!

Presumably no data sheet for those?

I find that careful use of a hammer against some sort of anvil (like a lump hammer)... can make a solid round cable almost square, to better fit the hole in a push connector.

I noticed on CEF website that carriers are available to hold up to five of them side by side. I guess you have to supply your own enclosure

Official 100% wago have them in Denmans and Rexel.

brilliant for heavy light fixtures.
