221-415 Lever-Nuts 5 Conductor Compact Connectors 10 PK

Great for wire protection claps and holds tight. Better than any wire nuts. Works good with solid core wire and stran wire. Should wrap with black tape to make sure they don’t accidentally open up. Easy to always take apart.

Using these Wago connectors fo a HO Train layout and have been very happy with the results! Easy to use and they create a strong connection.

To start, I didn't receive these free for review- I paid for these out of my own pocket and have no connection with the manufacturer of WAGOs or any of their affiliates. I'll be copying and pasting this review on the other sized WAGO connector pages - just so you know I'm not a bot or a shill. I'm just a fan of good high-quality hardware. I ordered two-, three-, and five-conductor WAGO connectors and have been using them extensively around the house and for work projects. Super easy to use, I don't have to remember which color nut goes with which AWG, and most importantly, in addition to giving a good, solid connection, they pack very nicely in switch/junction boxes. I hate fighting with wire nuts, trying to fit them into junction boxes, especially since a lot of the newer electronic switches are a lot bigger than the old toggle switches. They also make removing and replacing wires a cinch. A lot of U.S. electricians poo-poo these connectors, equating them to other less-reliable push-in connectors or using the back-stab slots on switches. I'm not an electrician, but over 20+ years I've had a lot of electrical/electronic training, done a lot of electrical/electronic work personally and professionally, and am very familiar with the National Electrical Code and National Fire Codes and I feel confident I can identify a safe, reliable connection. Plus, I don't want my house to burn down. These are UL, ABS, and CSA listed and meet NEC requirements. I've also handled safety and use certifications for electronics in the E.U. and in Australia/New Zealand. Their testing and standards are much more stringent than ours and WAGOs have been certified and in use in both areas for years. Two cautions: 1) Make sure the locking lever is fully seated and visually check to ensure the wire is properly seated. The casing is clear and wires are visible, and connection can be verified with a multimeter using the little probe ports. 2) There are a lot of knock-offs showing up on eBay and various other venues - make sure you're getting genuine WAGOs and not fakes.

I love these Wago connectors. Was looking for 4-wire one, but only could find 2, 3 and 5. They certainly take up less space than traditional wire nuts. Also very easy to replace devices - I've be swapping out some of my switches for smart switches - works great!

These WAGO connectors make wiring so much easier and faster. The levers lock securely, and the clear housing lets you see the connection. Perfect for quick electrical projects way better than traditional wire nuts. The only bad thing is they are a little more expensive though.

As a DIY’er, these are a life safer (maybe literally) because they make pigtailing straightforward

Great for low voltage wires. When I tried with 12 gauge which they claim it can handle, the wires popped out when I had to push them to the back of the switch box.

I love these, far superior to wire nuts when you have more than one wire to connect. Also easy to remove a wire in the future. They're just a better way.

I purchased these to make myself a testing box to allow me to have multiple connections coming from a battery negative terminal and the ease of use allows so much time to be saved, simply push the wires in correctly and lock them down to make a good quality connection. This isn't the first time I've used Wago connectors and while they're not cheap, I've always found them to be value for money as you can come back after some time and the connections are still as good as the day you made them.

I did some remodelling and some of the outlet boxes were tight with a few sets of wires. These made work easy and a bit more compact. Definitely recommend over standard wire nuts as you can visually see and physically test that the wires are secure. I use some electrical tape to wrap around the body to help keep the levers closed, especially when the wires need to be stuffed back with force into a tight outlet box.

fantastic things especially for changing old light fittings for new ones - this is the second pack I have purchased brilliant

These connectors are the Cat's Meow. So easy to use and saves space in the electrical box. They are CSA approved (will pass electrical inspection) and are safe and better connector than barrettes.

The Wago connectors makes joining wires so much easier and much easier to use than the block connector
