Wago 2273-202/5 Compact PUSH WIRE Connector Block, 2-Port, 2.5mm², 24A, White, 5-Piece Set

The Wago 2273-202/5 Compact PUSH WIRE Connector Block is a high-quality electrical component designed for efficient and reliable wire connections in junction boxes and distribution systems. This 2-port connector allows for the quick and secure termination of solid conductors, streamlining the installation process for both professional electricians and DIY enthusiasts. Its compact design saves valuable space within enclosures, while the robust construction ensures long-term electrical integrity.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this connector is its PUSH WIRE technology, which enables tool-free installation by simply inserting the conductor into the port. This significantly reduces wiring time compared to traditional screw terminals. The transparent housing allows for visual inspection of the connection, ensuring that the conductor is properly inserted. Furthermore, the compact dimensions make it ideal for use in tight spaces where standard connectors might be too bulky, and the high-quality materials provide excellent resistance to vibration and thermal expansion.

Suitable for

• Electrical junction box installations
• Residential wiring projects
• Lighting distribution systems
• General electrical maintenance and repairs

When it may not be suitable

This connector is specifically designed for solid conductors. It is not suitable for use with stranded or fine-stranded wires, as these may not maintain the necessary contact pressure within the PUSH WIRE mechanism. Additionally, it should not be used in environments exceeding its rated current or voltage specifications.

Key specifications

• Number of ports: 2
• Conductor type: Solid
• Conductor cross-section: 0.5 mm² to 2.5 mm²
• Maximum current: 24 A
• Maximum voltage: 450 V
• Color: White

How to use

To use the Wago 2273-202/5 connector, first strip the insulation from the solid conductor to the recommended length, typically around 11 mm. Once the wire is prepared, push the conductor firmly into one of the available ports until it is fully seated. The internal spring clamp will automatically secure the wire in place. To remove a conductor, hold the connector firmly and pull the wire while simultaneously rotating it back and forth.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the conductor type is solid, not stranded
• Verify that the wire cross-section falls within the 0.5–2.5 mm² range
• Check the total number of connections required for your specific project
• Confirm the current and voltage requirements of your electrical circuit

Usage recommendations

Always ensure the power supply is disconnected before performing any electrical work. Verify that the conductor is stripped to the correct length to ensure a secure connection and prevent exposed live parts.
