This Wago 221-413/K194-4045 is a compact 3-conductor lever splicing connector designed for fast, tool-free terminations of copper conductors in control panels, building wiring, and machinery. Conductors are clamped using Wagos CAGE CLAMP spring technology with an operating lever, allowing repeatable terminations and re-terminations without damaging the conductor. Transparent housing permits visual verification of strip length and full insertion, making it suitable for professional installation, commissioning, and maintenance environments.
The connector accepts solid and fine-stranded conductors from 0.08 to 2.5 mm² (2812 AWG), including ferruled conductors (0.251.5 mm² with insulated ferrules; 0.252.5 mm² with uninsulated ferrules). Connection is side-entry, with three individual conductor entries and a strip length of 89 mm (0.310.35 in). The clamping mechanism uses a chrome-nickel spring steel (CrNi) spring and tin-plated copper alloy current bar for low-resistance, gas-tight connections. The housing is polyamide PA66 with UL 94 V0 flammability and a material group I classification, providing good mechanical robustness and fire performance in panel and junction-box use.
Electrically, the connector is rated up to 16 A nominal current, with IEC/EN 60664-1 insulation coordination and overvoltage category III, pollution degree 2 rating. It carries CSA approvals, with typical North American ratings of 300600 V depending on use group. Rated surge voltage is 4 kV in the specified categories, and the permissible ambient temperature range is ?60 to +85 °C. These characteristics make it appropriate for general-purpose power and control circuits, including applications with higher power consumption or long runs where larger cross-sections up to 2.5 mm² are required. Typical applications include distribution boxes, lighting circuits, control cabinets, and equipment wiring where rapid, error-resistant field termination is required. The product is intended for use as a connector without breaking capacity per DIN EN 61984; it must not be mated or unmated under load, and circuit design should prevent live switching via the connector.
Mechanical dimensions are 26.45 mm (1.041 in) depth, 14.3 mm (0.563 in) height, and 101.5 mm (3.996 in) width, with a 5 mm (0.197 in) pin spacing for the internal conductive paths. The design supports mounting via dedicated carriers for standards-compliant installation, and Wago offers custom carrier options for OEM applications. The connector color is gray/transparent, enabling clear visual inspection of the conductor position. Country of origin for the sales organization is Germany.
