    Wago 221 Inline Lever Connectors 32A for use in socket replacement

    Hi all. I'm going to replace some sockets during a routine redecoration of our lounge including replacing some singles with doubles with USB charge points.

    RJ45 connector types

    Have run out of stock of RJ45's and looking to get a bulk pack online, it's been a while since I've had to buy any and I'm mostly seeing packs of the 'pass-thru' type - does nobody actually use end-on snips anymore?? Also, do you need a specific crimper or can you still snip the ends off neatly...

    Best PV panel cables and connectors to use for replacing existing?

    Hi again. Following my recent zero-Riso issue (unresolved) and also because my system has, in any case, been prone for a good while to the odd 'Low Riso' fault following heavy rain and high winds, I'm going to begin by replacing all the cables and connectors going to my panels. It should be a...

    Connectors for 16mm2 cable

    Hi, This might be a bit of a stupid question, but if I’m wanting to join T&E 16mm2 cable to 16mm2 SWA in an outdoor junction box which connectors would I use? The Wago ones for example I’m seeing only seem to go up to 6mm2, unless I’m missing something obvious. My reason for asking is I’m...

    Push-in connectors on Leviton outlets

    The electricians who wired my new house (US mainland) used the push-in connections on the back of Leviton budget outlets rather than the screw terminals. I've already had two wiggle loose making the outlets intermittent. They are UL listed outlets, so theoretically, they have been tested for...

    Are many potential uses of SWA **UNEQUAL** tee connectors illegal?

    It seems to be easy, these days, to buy fittings (often containing resin) that allow someone to tee into a pre-existing SWA cable. Some of these are equal tees, and some are designed so that the "new" branch cable has a smaller diameter than the main "through" SWA which was broken into. I'm...

    Wago 2273 connectors

    Hi all, Was looking at buying a set of wago connectors from screwfix and I came across some 2273 wago connectors that claimed to take up to 4mm^2 cable and were 32A rated, now I thought the 2273 series were all only 24A rated and could only take up to 2.5mm^2 cable. A search on wago's website...

    I'm a newbie to electrical DIY. There are some connectors on a ballast that I'm not familiar with. The cable I have is an 18awg 300v with wire cores made up of multiple thread copper.
