Splicing connector with levers, 221 Series, lever

Our splicing connector with levers (item number 221-490) is designed for seamless electrical installations. From intercom system wiring to electric ovens—connecting various conductor types is quick and easy with WAGO's practical 221 Series splicing connector. Strip lengths must be between 10 and 12 mm when connecting conductors to splicing connector with levers. Featuring conductor terminals along with CAGE CLAMP®, this product is highly versatile. Our highly-rated and maintenance-free CAGE CLAMP® connection makes it easy to connect all types of conductors without having to prepare the conductor. For example, you don't need to crimp ferrules. The dimensions are (29.8 x 15.8 x 18.3) mm (width x height x depth). Depending on the type of conductor, splicing connector with levers is designed for conductor cross sections ranging from 0.2 mm² to 4 mm².

WAGO's 221 Series Splicing Connector with levers impresses with its innovative design for different conductor cross-sections. That’s why WAGO's lever-equipped splicing connector holds a unique trademark within electrical interconnection technology. The flat levers, which fit seamlessly into the 221’s base, act like a cast when closed and can be positioned neatly in any housing without disturbing edges. Due to the wide design of each leaver, they can all be operated perfectly without tools for convenient conductor terminations. The transparent housing displays robust technology and enables immediate visual inspection for the correct contact of solid, stranded and fine-stranded conductors. Resembling piano keys, the levers' design perfectly combines the functional and aesthetic connection technology "Made by WAGO." This product is designed for specific Ex applications (please refer to the product datasheet).
