wago din rail conectors

[davek]

Hi all
I have been looking at a consumer unit change today, and feel I may have to extend the cable due to little slack in the old c/u. Have price up the topjob s but coming out quite expensive, any alternates.

Regards
Dave

Wago din rail the way to go imho others may differ but thats my take, for what its worth

 

[Richard Burns]

Don't use DIN rail holders just use the wagos /line/ ideal/hellerman push in connectors on their own?

 

[davek]

Looks tatty with push connectors though, and may want to use it for next assessment. Working out a £38 with delivery for 6 set L N E 42a then need get a box and rail

In line splice push connectors are neater

There are these that take the lever wago's, but I've never tried them. Din Rail Mounting Carrier for Push Wire Connectors

think they take the push-ins, not the lever type.

 

[gutterball]

I saw them somewhere else with the lever wago's but can't remember where. They probably take both types.

Totally agree, done this many times, always worth doing. I did lose a job once because it came out too much but to be fair he expected a new consumer unit and it moving lower by two feet for £275 which has 8 circuits.

line products.

proper din rail connectors look better than the wago makeshift ones

 

[amlu]

wago 862 will do without din rail and you get 3 terminals in one... they 32A rated, but you will struggle to get anything bigger than 2.5mm in there.
if you need something cheaper than wago on din rail then weidmuller or phoenix may do the job, have a look on cpc or rs sites.

If your going to do a job then do it properly
IMO Precision Controls - Terminaux Din

 

[davesparks]

In my experience IMO is just a slightly cheaper version of the standard din connectors mentioned above, so how on earth can using them be doing the job any more properly than has been discussed?

 

[not clever]

I meant that type of connector rather than filling a box with push connectors.........some people eh.

But the vast majority of people have been discussing those din rail type connectors, both the wago type and the normal type.
The OP was specifically asking about the din rail connectors!

Hi Guys
Thanks for your input. think customer will just have to stand the cost, will use the 2006 Series (41A)
for all but he shower. but why does the earth have three ports @ 2 quid

 

[KFH]

The wago earth connectors also earth to the din rail so be warned for testing. I usually use a normal wago connector for the earth so I can test from the CU.

?

use normal din rail connectors.

the idea behind the earth terminals connecting to the din rail is for use with the screen in control cables etc.

if your just extending then you dont want to use earth connectors
