Wago 2273-203 Compact PUSH WIRE Connection Terminal for 3 Conductors 1-2.5 mm²

The Wago 2273-203 Compact PUSH WIRE connection terminal is a high-quality electrical component designed for the efficient and secure joining of up to three solid conductors. Engineered for versatility and reliability, this connector supports wire cross-sections ranging from 1 mm² to 2.5 mm², making it a standard choice for modern electrical installations in residential and commercial junction boxes.

Advantages

This terminal block offers significant benefits for electrical professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. Its compact dimensions allow for maximum space utilization within crowded junction boxes, facilitating easier cable management. The PUSH WIRE technology ensures a vibration-proof and maintenance-free connection that remains stable over time. Furthermore, the tool-free installation process drastically reduces assembly time, while the transparent housing allows for visual inspection of the connection to ensure the conductor is properly inserted.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical wiring projects
• Connecting solid conductors in junction boxes
• General lighting and power distribution installations
• Renovation and maintenance of existing electrical systems

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 required for a secure connection. Additionally, it should not be used in environments exceeding its rated voltage or current capacity.

Key specifications

• Number of connection points: 3
• Conductor cross-section: 1–2.5 mm²
• Conductor type: Solid
• Rated voltage: 450 V
• Rated current: 24 A
• Color: Orange

How to use

To use the Wago 2273-203, first strip the insulation from your solid conductor to the recommended length, typically indicated on the housing. Once the wire is prepared, simply push the solid conductor directly into the terminal port until it is fully seated. The internal spring mechanism automatically grips the wire, creating a secure electrical contact. To remove a wire, hold the connector firmly and pull the conductor while simultaneously twisting it slightly.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your wire type is solid, as this terminal is not compatible with flexible or stranded cables.
• Ensure the cross-section of your conductors falls within the 1–2.5 mm² range.
• Check the total number of wires you need to connect to ensure a 3-port terminal is sufficient for your circuit.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the power supply is completely disconnected before performing any electrical work. Verify that the wire is inserted fully into the terminal to prevent loose connections or overheating.
