WAGO 221-412 COMPACT 2-Conductor Lever Splicing Connector, 24–12 AWG, Transparent Housing
WagoWAGO 221-412 splicing connector with levers, 450 V/32 A, tool-free CAGE CLAMP®, 0.2–4 mm² conductors, compact and transparent for easy install.
Optimized engineer-focused description
WAGO 221-412 COMPACT 2-conductor lever splicing connectors provide tool-free terminations for solid, stranded, and fine-stranded copper conductors from 0.2–4 mm² (24–12 AWG) using CAGE CLAMP® spring technology. Rated 450 V/32 A with a maximum ambient temperature of 85 °C (T85), the transparent, space-saving housing enables immediate visual verification of strip length (11 mm), full conductor insertion, and clamping status for reliable connections in control panels, machinery, lighting, and building wiring.
-
Operation: Lift lever, insert stripped 11 mm conductor, close lever for a repeatable, gas-tight, vibration-resistant connection without ferrules or crimping.
-
Conductor types: Solid, stranded, and fine-stranded copper, 0.2–4 mm², enabling mixed cross-sections and conductor types in a single connector for retrofit and panel modifications.
-
Form factor: 2-conductor, compact body (approx. 13.1 × 8.3 × 18.6 mm W×H×D) for high-density junction boxes and OEM devices.
-
Application benefits:
-
Reduces wiring time for panel builders, machine builders, and installers versus screw terminals.
-
Supports higher power loads and long cable runs thanks to 4 mm² max cross-section and 32 A rating.
-
Transparent housing supports standard-compliant inspection and troubleshooting without disconnection.
-
-
Integration: Compatible with standardized mounting carriers and accessories for rail or panel mounting in series production environments.
-
Approvals and use: Designed for global applications with relevant approvals; specific Ex/hazardous-location usage must follow the product datasheet and applicable standards.
Engineers and manufacturing professionals can standardize on the WAGO 221-412 to streamline assembly processes, reduce rework, and maintain consistent termination quality across panel builds, field wiring harnesses, and service work.
