Connectors are parts or devices used for electrically connecting or disconnecting circuits etc. They can connect and disconnect by hands or with simple tools without requiring special tools or processes such as soldering. Electrical connectors are classified into three types based on their termination ends: board-to-board connectors, cable/wire-to-cable/wire connectors, and cable/wire-to-board connectors. Six levels of interconnection are normally seen in electrical connectors.
The main components of a connector include the contact springs, contact finish, and connector housing. The contact interface is defined by the physical electrical connection of the pieces of the connector that are mated, and this determines how well the connector performs. With the proven lever technology of the 221 series, WAGO ensures that you can connect all wire types (solid, stranded, flexible) without the need for any tools.
To use them, one simply has to strip wires to length, pull the appropriate connector lever up, push the wire in place, and flip the lever back down. Their blocks come in 2, 3, and 5 wire formats, in two different styles for their newer WAGO 221 series connectors. The Connector System is a comprehensive system designed to reduce the complexity of revising and extending existing spinal constructs.
