cable connectors

[densleighParticipant @densleigh]

Would totally agree Wago products are easilly the best. Have used them on several house re-wires and workshop wiring.  Excellent product and as others have said easy to use.

There are now copies (legit) a bit cheaper (RS, CPC and elec wholesalers etc ).

Possibly such things are available, but wouldn’t sockets and switches with Wago-type connectors be a good idea? No more issues with incorrectly tightened screw terminals for one thing. I have come across LED light fittings with them, very easy to use.

Ah Ian! 3/029 cable. Now I’m going all dewey eyed. Tis a fact though apprentices only spend 2yrs now, they haven’t even started

Sockets are available. Mk Rapid fix. I doubt you’ll find plugs, all moulded on nowadays, so not much market.

WAGO ? Never seen them but how do they handle high currents ? I have seen push fit connectors but have wondered how the point contact or edge contact is with a current of 15 or 20 amps ? I know it gets round the loose screw problem, which seems to be more common now but I still prefer a proper junction box of the right rating for the job. Noel.

I’ve recently bought a few “just in case”. They do seem pretty good.
