sorry I meant a 222-105 is 26.5mm, so you can fit a 773-173 plus a

222-104, but not a 222-106

if you had a 173 in each side you could fit a 104 in each side and link them giving 6 positions for CPCs.

could be.

Well if TLC?s measurements are correct then with a 773-173 in a Wagobox slot there is just enough space left to fit a 773-104 on top, just!

Just got an email back from Wago to confirm you can fit a 773-173 and a 773-104 in one slot, result!

I don't think it's TLC's measurements, those .PDFs look like single pages extracted from a larger Wago catalogue

or leaflets for the individual ranges?

And I should have said I've never found in one place the sizes across ranges in a convenient document. I did find a catalogue last year but it was a bit big at 716 pp and 90 MB. The WAGO connectors alone are spread across 30 or so pages.

Am I the only person who finds traditional junction boxes too easy to destroy the terminals by over-tightening and distorting them? Modern push-in terminals are much less easy to get wrong.

The cheap type of JB with the U shaped terminal, yes, especially if you try and squeeze in too many cables. But there are better (and more expensive) designs around.

Of course not. There are our apprentices.
