Building Installations: Splicing Connectors or Pluggable Connectors?

Classic installation with splicing connectors or pluggable with WINSTA^®? No matter which type of electrical installation you prefer, WAGO offers the right products for connection technology — and supports you in meeting evolving challenges.

Which Wiring Type Is Right for Me?

A customer calls, and you need to connect conductors of different types and sizes quickly and flexibly? Planning minor repairs, maintenance, or renovations? Then classic splicing connectors — such as those in the 221 Series — are the perfect choice!

Working on a larger project? Planning the electrical installation of modular buildings, facilities that are frequently modified or expanded, or applications where standardization and repeatability are essential? Short on time at the construction site and prefer a preplanned electrical installation that only needs to be plugged together on-site? Choose a customized, pre-assembled installation with WINSTA^® pluggable connectors!

Simple, secure, and maintenance-free operation is what makes our connection technology stand out. Thanks to their compact design, our connectors save space and are intuitive — for example, with the 221 Series, solid conductors can be inserted directly, and lever technology simplifies handling.
