Overview of All Applications

Inline Connection of Installation Lines

As a universal connection technology, the 221 Series Inline Splicing Connector’s compact dimensions not only improve current installations, the small footprint also allows for a wide variety of new applications, such as the inline connection of installation lines in junction boxes (e.g., for light connection in suspended ceilings).

Simple Extension of Lines

Not life-prolonging but line-extending: The 221 Series Inline Splicing Connector connects all types of conductors from 0.2 to 4 mm² simply, quickly and safely in the inline connection direction. This makes it ideal for flying leads, for example when it comes to speaker wiring.

Multiple Poles and Fixed-Position Installation via Adapter

Whether in devices or on DIN-rails – the adapters for the 221 Series Inline Splicing Connector provide completely modular mounting. Users get the flexibility of having five fixed-position poles in one adapter – whether it’s with or without strain relief, on DIN-rails with a snap-in mounting foot, for screw mounting, adhesive mounting, tie-on mounting or suspended mounting.

Perfect for Test Setups

Pull the lever up, insert a conductor and push the lever back down! The slim 221 Series Inline Splicing Connector is a universal tool that's ideal for lab and test setups or production test stands – and does not require the use of any tools while providing visible confirmation of conductor contact. Disconnecting conductors is just as quick and easy: raise the lever, remove the conductor, lower the lever.

Simple DIN-Rail Mounting

Whether it's DIN-35 or DIN-15 rail – in the appropriate adapter, the 221 Series Inline Splicing Connectors can be easily snapped or screwed onto both DIN-rails, for example in junction boxes, for distribution expansion or for other standard connections and in DIN-rail mount equipment.

Integrated Strain Relief

Reducing pull-out forces on conductors – that's what the mounting adapters for the 221 Series Inline Splicing Connector with integrated strain relief make possible. They are ready for use wherever cables need to be secured against pull-out forces and movement – whether as a preventive measure or in unexpected situations.

Universal Connection Technology for Conductor Inline Connection

As a universal connection technology, the 221 Series Inline Splicing Connector’s compact dimensions not only improve your current installations, the small footprint also opens up a wide variety of new applications. These include space-restricted applications like laboratory and test setups, production test bays, lighting connection in suspended ceilings, or extending loudspeaker cables and distribution boxes in industrial applications. Those are just some of the possible uses that could benefit from the 221 Series Inline Splicing Connector. Two variants of the inline splicing connector are available, both with EN and UL approvals: one version has a transparent cover for conductor cross sections from 0.2 to 4 mm² for all standard applications. The other version uses a white cover (favored in North America) for the extended connection range with AWG-12 conductors.

WAGO 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.
