FTM / Industrial Robotics & Industry 5.0 / WAGO — 221-420 Connector
The new 221-420 splicing connector is a 10-pole wire connector with lever actuators which simplifies multi-wire electrical connections. The lever clamp design of the connector not only speeds up installation but also provides consistent contact force that resists vibration, important for HVAC equipment and ceiling fixtures in particular.
Part of the 221 Series, this compact connector accommodates all conductor types with wire diameters ranging from 0.2mm² up to 4mm², enabling error- and maintenance-free splicing of up to ten conductors on a common potential. The tool-free lever mechanism uses the proven WAGO CAGE CLAMP® Spring technology for quick and reliable terminations without twisting. A transparent housing supporting side-entry wiring allows installers to visually verify each insertion and fit the connector into tight spaces, such as ceiling boxes and wall cavities.
By combining ten wiring points in one unit, the 221-420 eliminates the need for multiple smaller connectors or bulky screw terminal blocks in junction boxes and distribution nodes. Despite its small size, the 221-420 connector is rated for mains voltage and high currents. It is rated for up to 450V and 32A under IEC standards, and is UL recognized for 600V and 20A use in North America.
This makes the 221-420 suitable for demanding loads in lighting circuits, HVAC controls and other building systems.
