WAGO Gelbox Protects Connectors from Moisture

Condensation, heavy precipitation, powerful water jets: When moisture meets electricity, a short circuit can happen quickly. Encapsulation is a proven solution. But now reliable moisture protection for splicing connectors can be achieved even more quickly and easily with the WAGO Gelbox. It is ready for immediate use in a wide range of low- and extra-low voltage applications.

The Benefits for You:

  • 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 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 COMPACT PUSH WIRE® Connectors for Junction Boxes, as well as WAGO’s 221 Series COMPACT 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.

The WAGO Gelbox protects the electrical installation exactly where it matters – at the connection points – without permanently encapsulating the distribution boxes. Thanks to their compact design, WAGO Gelboxes can be easily housed in any distribution box.
