Wago's , junction boxes and choc blocks whats best with downlighters

[saabuldin]

you should have gone to elex they had them on special offer , if they are approved for use in air craft then they are ok for me , i shall be trying out the din rail mount ones when i do a CDU relocation , hardly ever use crimps or terminal block nowadays they are just a superb invention

I went to the elex show but must of missed the wagos. oh well

its junction boxes that have not got clamps are the ones i think you mean any junction box or connection box is required to have strain relif for the cables if not permernantly fixed and the cables clipped for the full length, i cant remember which reg no it is , this is the reason 17th jb's came out , wagos and wago boxes are the answer , cant be 100% on this ill try and find the reg for it

if so you have to pull the levers right back so they are fully up pop in the cable and push back down.

Opening a can of worms here guys. Question is do you want to comply with the regulations? Click 100? Yes, looks good BUT no cable restariant therefore a NO NO! See more details on other boxes on
COMPARISON TABLE
There actually arent many that will comply!!
