I've just discovered Wago connectors!

[Andy Burns]

They're ba-aack!

[Bob Eager]

My dad called them Scruits.

[Tim Watts]

Uuuurrrrgggh!

Stand by for incidence of fires on the increase in a few years...

Which will be solved by making us run all cabling in fireproof containment.

I am not joking (cf Amendment 3)

[Huge]

Oh, Lhord.

Screwits

[mcp]

Those ones seem to have a metal thread inside, the American ones I've seen are all ceramic.

[Andy Burns]

I've never seen any in the flesh, but going by image search results (ignoring the charred ones!) most present American ones seem to be plastic with some sort of metal insert in them too.

[charles]

our used to be, too.

[Adam Funk]

I clicked on the link & got this:

"Unfortunately this product is no longer available."

[Adam Funk]

The American ones I've seen are all plastic with a metal coil inside.

[Adam Funk]

Surely a sprung connection that can't work loose over time has some advantages over a screw terminal that can (especially at high currents)?

I've only used the levered ones. I have an innate prejudice against push-fit anything, although I am getting tempted to try the 4-pole push-fit one solely because they don't make a 4-pole levered one.

I wish they made a bigger version of the box for more complicated situations too.

[Andy Burns]

They do seem to have removed them in the last few days

[Tim Watts]

Subject to it applying sufficient pressure - which gets harder with bigger cables.

Likewise - I will use the lever ones.

Indeed. There are some adaptable boxes that have a retainer rail for wagos built in. However, Wagos have been designed to be deployed "loose" in any suitable enclosure - subject to cables exiting being suitable supported (clipped near or glanded).

Perhaps they sold out due to the advertising on here :-)
