Gelbox Protects Connectors from Moisture

Condensation, heavy precipitation, powerful water jets: When moisture meets electricity, a short circuit can happen quickly. And encapsulation has been widely used to shield electrics from moisture. But now, reliable moisture protection for splicing connectors can be achieved even faster and easier with the WAGO Gelbox. It is ready for immediate use in a wide range of low- and extra-low voltage applications.

Your Benefits:

Easy, fast and safe to use
Can be used immediately and accessed again later
Silicon-free
Label-free
Suitable for indefinite storage
The complete system consisting of Gelboxes and WAGO Splicing Connectors has been VDE-tested and IPX8-certified.

What is the WAGO Gelbox?

The WAGO Gelbox is a compact box pre-filled with silicone-free gel. The Gelbox is available in nine sizes and provides IPX8 moisture protection for WAGO’s 2273 Series PUSH WIRE® Connectors for Junction Boxes, as well as WAGO’s 221 Series Splicing Connectors and Inline Splicing Connectors with levers. This protection type requires the connectors to be completely sealed off against water and able to withstand continuous immersion in water. Conventional potting compounds like polyurethane and silicone also meet IPX8 requirements,

but what’s special about the WAGO Gelbox is that it protects the electrical installations exactly where it matters – at the connection points – without permanently encapsulating the distribution boxes. Unlike silicone-based gel, the WAGO Gelbox’s silicone-free gel supports a virtually unlimited number of applications.
