All the Benefits of the 221 Series with a Slim Design
Unparalleled simplicity, speed and reliability – that’s what the new WAGO Inline Splicing Connector stands for. WAGO's Inline Splicing Connector condenses the industry-leading 221 Series Splicing Connectors’ advantages into a slim design. Offering unsurpassed simplicity, speed and reliability, the 221 Series’ levers provide tool-free universal conductor connections and a transparent housing for confirming conductor contact at a glance. As a universal connection technology, it is not only suitable for familiar installation applications in tight spaces but also opens up many new and different ones, such as the inline connection of installation lines in distribution boxes or flying leads. It is ideal for lab and test setups or production test stands, requires no tools and provides visible confirmation of conductor contact.
