Wago 2273-202 Compact PUSH WIRE Connector for 2 Conductors 0.5-2.5 mm²

The Wago 2273-202 Compact PUSH WIRE connector is a professional-grade solution for joining up to 2 solid conductors with cross-sections between 0.5 and 2.5 mm². Engineered for efficiency and reliability, this connector features a compact, space-saving design that is perfect for crowded junction boxes. The transparent housing allows for immediate visual inspection of the connection, ensuring that each wire is properly inserted and secured, while the white base provides a clean, professional finish for electrical installations.

Advantages

This connector significantly simplifies electrical wiring tasks by eliminating the need for traditional twisting or soldering methods. Its PUSH WIRE technology allows for quick, tool-free installation of solid conductors, which saves time and reduces labor costs during large-scale projects. The compact dimensions maximize available space within enclosures, and the integrated test port enables easy voltage testing without removing the connector. Furthermore, the robust construction ensures a permanent, vibration-resistant connection that maintains electrical integrity over time.

Suitable for

• Connecting solid copper conductors in junction boxes
• Residential and commercial electrical installations
• Lighting and power distribution circuits
• Renovation and maintenance of existing wiring systems

When it may not be suitable

This connector is specifically designed for solid conductors and is not compatible with stranded or fine-stranded wires. Attempting to use it with flexible cables may result in an insecure connection or damage to the internal contact mechanism.

Key specifications

• Number of connection points: 2
• Conductor type: Solid
• Cross-section range: 0.5 to 2.5 mm²
• Housing material: Transparent polycarbonate
• Installation method: PUSH WIRE (tool-free)
• Voltage rating: Up to 450V

How to use

To use the Wago 2273-202, first strip the insulation from the solid conductor to the recommended length as indicated on the housing. Once the wire is prepared, simply push the conductor firmly into the insertion port until it is fully seated. The internal spring clamp automatically grips the wire, creating a secure and permanent electrical contact. To verify the connection, use the transparent housing to visually confirm that the wire is inserted correctly and use the test port on the top of the connector to perform electrical measurements if necessary.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your wire type is solid, not stranded
• Ensure the conductor cross-section falls within the 0.5–2.5 mm² range
• Check the total number of wires required for your specific junction point
• Confirm compliance with local electrical safety regulations

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the power supply is disconnected before performing any electrical work. Use only compatible solid conductors and do not exceed the specified voltage and current ratings to maintain safety and performance standards.
