WAGO 221-2401 80pc Inline Compact Splicing Wire Connectors | Includes 80pc 221-2401 (2 Conductor) | WAGO Wire Connectors | 221 Straight Inline Splice | Straight Electrical Lever Nuts | (2-Port)

WAGO 221-2401 inline connectors are a game-changer for wiring projects. They’re tool-free, so you can connect wires in a flash. The strong clamping force makes sure the connection is secure and reliable, and the compact size saves space in junction boxes. Plus, the transparent housing lets you see the connection easily. These connectors have totally simplified my electrical work, and I feel more confident and efficient.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the WAGO Inline Compact Splicing Wire Connectors. While replacing the outdated smoke detectors in my home, these connectors made the job much easier and more efficient.

No more soldering! Thank goodness. With these clamp connectors I can forego the soldering iron, the wire, the flux, the fumes, the mess, so forth and so on. They work extremely well, I have tugged hard on the wires and they are in there securely. Plus it is easy to undo the connection if you need to, simply pull the lever back up. I can twist small LED wires together and put them in one port, and a battery holder's wire in the other port and voila, a hobby LED set up is good to go. If I need to replace an LED, just pop open the clamp and swap it out. Brilliant, cannot say enough good things about these clamps. They have made my life so much easier!

"Alright, let's cut to the chase – I'm not exactly the cheerleader type when it comes to WAGO connectors for your run-of-the-mill electrical jobs. But, when you step into the world of control systems, that's a whole different ball game. These connectors are the kind of tool that just makes sense – they're the slice of bread of connectors: simple to plug in, tough as nails, and as reusable as your favorite pair of work jeans. With these bad boys, adding a new control wire is as easy as pie, no need to loop back on your splice. And talk about a timesaver – you can switch them out for different sizes quicker than a hot knife through butter, or rejig things when you're jumping between zones. They click together so well, you'd think they were made for each other. And knowing they've got that UL stamp of approval? Well, that's like the cherry on top – a little peace of mind goes a long way, especially when you're leaving tiny wire nuts in the dust."

I like this type of connector. They are for certain wire thickness. Be sure you know the wire size you want to use them on.

The media could not be loaded. Great for hard wired ceiling and wall lights that typically have smaller diameter stranded wires that can be difficult to connect to solid 14 or 12 gauge Romex wiring typically found in an outlet box.Whenever I use Wago lever connectors, I always put electrical tape over the levers before pushing the wires into the box. It only takes one little snag of a lever on another wire or the box to disturb the connection. Better to be cautious than risk any mayhem.There is also a “test port” in the center of the Wago connector to verify the connection with a meter. That’s not a feature found on wire nuts.Stranded and solid copper wires are notoriously troublesome to connect with wire nuts. This Wago product holds them both secure despite differences in wire gauge and stranded versus solid wire.Also great for extending wires is a box that are too short. I don’t know how some of the outlets and receptacles I see on jobs were ever connected because the wires are too short.See the photo of the wires coming from the wall box. I used these Wago inline connectors to add 12 inch pigtails to connect a 20 inch “moon” wall scone - see the “moon light” photo.Terrific for quick, easy to remove speaker wire connections as well. The wire grip on the Wago 221’s is as good as a pre-twisted solid wire to wire connection with a wire nut.The small footprint of the 221’s also makes them ideal for tight spots. Great product but don’t use them on aluminum wiring - the copper in the Wagoconnectors and aluminum wire are incompatible materials. Hope that helps!

Awesome product

Easily create reliable connections with these and they take up less space than wire nuts. To be extra safe I wrapped them in electrical tape after making the connections to avoid an accidental opening when moving them around inside service panel or junction box.
