WAGO flexible connection terminal up to 6mm² - 221-613

WAGO 221-613 connector for parallel connection of smaller solar panels

WAGO COMPACT 221 series connectors make connecting conductors a breeze

There are many types of connectors, including the traditional screw terminal, junction box terminal, and terminal block. Unlike all other connectors, the WAGO connector allows you to connect any type of conductor completely tool-free.

Push-in lever connectors such as the WAGO connector are suitable for both multi-strand and solid electrical conductors.  Our range of WAGO connectors includes 2-, 3-, and 5-conductor connectors in 4 and 6 mm² versions. This variety offers a wide range of applications, especially where different types of conductors and cross-sections meet. These connectors make connecting conductors easier than any other, ensuring fast and reliable wiring. When using screw terminals with multi-strand conductors, wire ferrules usually need to be attached. This step is not required with WAGO connectors, as there is no risk of wires protruding or being damaged by screws. Another major advantage is that conductors with different cross-sections can be connected in the connector. And all this without any special tools.

How do you wire WAGO connectors?

WAGO connectors are very small and compact. Thanks to their extremely small dimensions, they are ideal for tight spaces. This makes them very easy to install while also leaving room for potential expansions. Operation is intuitive, and connecting the conductors is quick and easy. The levers can be opened and closed with minimal effort. Thanks to the recessed grip areas on the sides, the WAGO connectors remain securely in hand in any situation. To connect conductors together, follow these steps:

1. Strip the desired conductors
2. Open the WAGO connector using the lever
3. Insert the conductors
4. Close the lever 

The transparent housing allows you to continuously check the position of the conductors. The contact point is gas-tight, ensuring a permanently secure connection between the conductor and the busbar. Two easily accessible inspection openings (one on the conductor connection side and the other on the opposite side) make inspection very convenient even when installed. The connectors are suitable for ambient temperatures of up to 85 °C, and the maximum connector temperature according to the UL standard is 105 °C. WAGO connectors have globally recognized approvals. If you need to disconnect the conductors, this can also be done without any problems. Just as when inserting them, open the lever and remove the cable.

Applications of WAGO connectors

Connecting cables is one of the most common tasks when connecting electronic devices in the home, fitting out a camper, or installing solar panels. Since WAGO connectors can connect both multi-strand and solid conductors, they offer a wide range of applications. In addition, the connectors can be used with any cable cross-section, making them highly flexible and compatible with any application. Two examples of use include connecting solar panels to charge controllers or connecting consumers to a battery.
