Wago 221-413 Splicing Connector 3 Conductors 0.14-4 mm². Compact Design with Lever, Pack of 50

Perfect product. Small and neat. Quick to connect or release cables with the lift up release and snap down to close and lock. Reusable as well so ideal for linking out a ring circuit while carrying out a refurbishment allowing sockets to be removed and wiring to be stowed in the back box out the way while plastering or decorating. Then can be taken off and reused again when all the sockets are refitted.Perfect for connecting lighting cables in small ceiling lighting roses....much better than choc blocks which is what you normally get.Always keep a box of these in my toolkit. Perfect in conjunction with the wago connection boxes to contain them. Work perfectly with 0.5A - 2.5A Twin and Earth cable....also think they will go up to 4A cable rating.

Having used the original Wago connectors and been very pleased with them, needed some more and thought I’d try the newer version.Same principle, but an improvement as they’re clear so you can see the cable insetted, additional bonus they are slimmer, so better for tighter areas.Good quality and a good strong ‘spring’ action, but not overly strong. Very good grip and not had any issues.

Wago products are a brilliant replacement for the old screw terminal connections. There are several brands doing similar but Wago are much better build quality.The price is also better than the electrical wholesalers we used to buy them from

This make wiring so much easier. I have tidied up my garage wiring recently and these are great in a junction box to make it easier to replace the LED outside light when it blows. No more fuss with those screw in ones! Yes they are expensive and not good value for all applications but I think they are worth the money to save the fuss.

OK, so our use case for these is far from conventional (we needed a way to split out 12v DC inside a custom-built system to connect up multiple network components) but these do the job perfectly (we also use the 5-way ones) and mean that we can swap or add components without tools regardless of the size or type of cable they come with. The traditional screw terminal 'choc blocks' wreck the fine cables and are nowhere near as secure and a PCB-based alternative was ludicrously expensive and needed soldering skills. Absolutely brilliant product.

I was sceptical at first, but I gave them a go, and I'll never use choc blocks (screw terminals) again out of choice. these connectors are the way to go, great design, secure, small footprint and very versatile.Can't believe how good they are !!You may read some reviews stating they can't get the flex / cable to stay in !!! That's because some of the connection points ( the push in ports ) are only for single core cable and not multi core flex. If the connection point has a lever you lift, it will take and secure both single core (i.e. 2.5 mm twin and earth) or multi core. If the port is a push in type, it will only secure a single core, which also like the spring clip port allows the cable to be removed / replaced. All be it does take a little bit of twisting while pulling the single core out.

I use these by the bucket full to make connections / junctions in wiring a model railway. They are so easy to use, you just pull open the orange hinged lever, poke your wire in, close lever, job done. Give the wire a good tug, and 99% of times its good and tight, and when it isn't you just reopen lever, poke a bit more and close. Seems happy with pretty much any size of wire that fits the hole (so up to 3mm diameter), both stranded and solid copper. Saves a great amount of time otherwise spent using the screwdriver on terminal blocks. They are small, so fit inside / under control panels easily and have good flat surfaces so you can affix them with double sided sticky pads or a dab of glue (no holes for screws / tacks though. Clear sides allow you to see the wires in place, though my eyes are not good enoughh to benefit from that feature. They are small and light, so you can also just leave the to dangle without the pulling wires through your cable ties. They are especially useful, if like me, plans change all the time and you want to remake junctions / joins and / or change cable routes as you go along, they save masses of time. Love them and heartily recommend them for any low current projects with equipment / speaker type wiring.

Had a problem when I replaced halogens/CFLs for LEDs in three places. Eventually found that upstream old fashioned junction boxes or chocolate block screw connectors had loosened over time due to expansion and contraction. Don't be cynical of new regs. These are much better than screw connectors particularly as LEDs can be very sensitive to very slight power/voltage variations. `(whether 12v with external controller or 230v /240v with internal controller).If you have a problem with any LED spotlights switch on and off, and due to the latency produced by the capacitor, watch which dims last in the circuit. Then drop and check the junction box or chocolate block cluster before it. Then replace with wago connectors and enclosures.
