The Wago 2273-208/5 Compact PUSH WIRE connector block is a professional-grade solution for electrical wiring, designed to facilitate quick and secure connections for solid conductors. With its 8-port configuration, this connector allows for the efficient distribution of electrical signals or power within a compact footprint, making it an essential component for modern junction boxes where space is at a premium.
Advantages
This connector block utilizes advanced PUSH WIRE technology, which significantly reduces installation time compared to traditional screw terminals. The design ensures a permanent, vibration-resistant connection that maintains electrical integrity over time. Its transparent housing allows for visual inspection of the conductor position, ensuring that each wire is properly inserted and secured. The compact dimensions maximize the available space inside electrical enclosures, allowing for a cleaner and more organized wiring layout.
Suitable for
- Residential electrical installations
- Commercial building wiring
- Junction box distribution
- Lighting system connections
- General solid conductor termination
When it may not be suitable
This connector is specifically engineered for use with solid conductors. It is not suitable for connecting stranded or fine-stranded wires, as these may not provide the necessary mechanical stability required for the PUSH WIRE mechanism.
Key specifications
- Number of ports: 8
- Conductor type: Solid
- Maximum conductor cross-section: 2.5mm²
- Rated current: 24A
- Color: Grey
How to use
To use the Wago 2273-208/5, strip the insulation from the solid conductor to the recommended length indicated on the connector housing. Insert the stripped wire directly into one of the 8 ports until it is firmly seated. The internal spring mechanism automatically grips the wire, creating a secure electrical contact without the need for additional tools.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that your wiring consists of solid conductors only.
- Ensure the conductor cross-section does not exceed 2.5mm².
- Check the total current load to ensure it remains within the 24A limit.
- Confirm that the available space in your junction box is sufficient for the number of connections required.
Usage recommendations
Always ensure that the power supply is disconnected before performing any electrical work. Verify that the wire is fully inserted into the port to ensure a reliable and safe connection.
