Wago Connectors / JB's

[dixon9]

Been using them a while, and pretty good, but not too keen on size/shape of box, and think breaking them apart for testing is a bit of a chew on.

Yes it is a strange shape isn´t it? Reminds me of a model of a ship container. Can´t work out why they didn´t keep it smooth.

I received my wagobox freebee last week and it looks a good solution to complying with the 17edition regs.
The Ashley J803 is the only thing that I have seen similar at £2.25 each from senate.The wagobox works out cheaper at £1.55 and is more versatile. Of course the old JB`s are cheaper still but not comparable.
I do have a couple of questions though.
The literature they sent shows different applications
I am unsure about using a 24A 2-pole push wire terminal for a 32A ring main extension?
And I cant see if in the future one of these wagobox`s was discovered under the floor.How would I be able to check if it was LIVE or not, there is nowhere to connect my test lead’s (I don’t trust or use volt sticks). At least with the old JB`s you had some nice big screw heads to use.

Hi Andrew,the Helacon ones are virtually the same but have a small apature for test leads,I thought exactly the same as you when i saw the wagos.
