Waterproof Wago Connectors
Condensation, heavy precipitation, and powerful water jets – these are things that electricity doesn’t like. Fortunately, there is an easy way to protect your electrical connections against moisture damage.
The Gelbox is a compact box pre-filled with non-hazardous silicone-free gel. It provides reliable moisture protection for multi-wire lever-nut connectors and is ready to use in a wide range of low and extra-low voltage applications.
Easy to install
Waterproof wago connectors are designed to provide moisture protection for electrical wiring. They are available in a wide variety of sizes to accommodate different conductors and wire thicknesses. They are also able to be used in both new construction and building renovations. The connectors allow easy installation without the need for heat shrink or mastics. Simply strip the wire, insert the connector, and twist to secure it in place.
Moisture often forms in junction boxes, causing current to take new paths and causing short circuits. This is especially common during transitional periods, such as spring and autumn. Rapid temperature changes cause condensation on the housing walls, and the moisture can then flow into the connectors.
WAGO’s Gelbox is an easy and time-saving solution for moisture protection. It’s pre-filled with a non-hazardous silicone-free gel and is suitable for a wide range of low voltage applications. The Gelbox is a cost-effective alternative to encapsulating a distribution box, and it can be easily opened for re-wiring.
The Gelbox’s compact design allows it to be placed in any junction box, and it can be opened and closed as needed. It is also suitable for a number of applications, such as connecting lights, motors for sunblinds and roller shutters, and door and window sensors. In addition, the Gelbox can be marked using self-adhesive marking strips, and its transparent design makes it easy to identify the wiring configuration at a glance.
Easy to re-wire
A significant element of a quality electrical installation is the wiring. This is what carries the electricity throughout the system and ensures continuity and safety. However, electrical wiring is complex and requires a high level of skill to ensure proper connections. Fortunately, wire connectors and splices have simplified the process of constructing and connecting electrical wiring. In addition to simplifying the work, these devices reduce costly repairs, downtime and maintenance requirements. One such device is the Wago product line.
Waterproof wago connectors are simple to use, waterproof wago connectors even in challenging environments. Unlike traditional wire nuts, these connectors don’t require soldering or additional equipment to make a connection. They are also easier to re-wire than other products such as push in terminals and clones. They are especially suitable for stranded and fine stranded conductors, as they do not sever or split the wires.
They are also designed to keep moisture out of the junction box. Moisture is a common cause of electrical failure, particularly in harsh or outdoor settings. This is because rapid temperature changes cause condensation within the junction box. These changes can lead to short circuits, corrosion and other problems. Waterproof wago connectors help prevent these issues by keeping out moisture and other harmful substances. They are also compatible with standard junction boxes, making them a cost-effective solution to costly re-wiring and repair costs.
Easy to maintain
Waterproof connectors help prevent moisture from contaminating electrical connections, minimizing damage and ensuring safety. This is important in industrial environments, where electrical components are frequently exposed to extreme temperatures and environmental contaminants. They also offer flexibility, making them suitable for a variety of applications.
These connectors are made of durable materials that resist a wide range of temperatures and conditions. They also feature built-in sealing mechanisms that help keep out dirt and debris. These features make waterproof connectors ideal for a wide range of environments, from outdoor lighting to aerospace components.
Another benefit of waterproof connectors is their ease of use. Unlike traditional wire connectors, they do not require crimping or soldering. Instead, they feature compact cage levers that are easy to operate. Moreover, they can be used with all conductor types, including solid, stranded and fine-stranded.
WAGO’s 2273 Series COMPACT PUSH WIRE splicing connectors are ideal for use in junction boxes. These connectors can be snapped directly onto the DIN-35 rail or mounted on a flat surface. They are also marked to make them easier to identify, even in distribution cabinets. A matching mounting carrier is available to facilitate installation in distribution boxes. This helps electricians to save time and money waterproof crimp connectors while maintaining electrical standards. The splicing connectors also support conductor extensions or potential multiplications, further simplifying the process of installing and rewiring in distribution boxes.
Easy to identify
The spring-cage connection technology used in Wago lever connectors is not only quick and easy to use, but also provides a stable, reliable connection that won’t loosen over time. This is why they are the perfect alternative to wire nuts. Their transparent housing also allows for easy inspection, reducing the risk of electrical faults. In addition, Wago lever-connectors are code approved and are not prone to corrosion like push-in connectors.
Moisture can be dangerous for junction boxes because it can lead to short circuits. The traditional solution is to use encapsulation, but this isn’t always possible. The new Gelbox offers an alternative, providing moisture protection with a non-hazardous silicone-free gel. This makes it a great choice for any electrical lighting installation, as well as other applications.
The Gelbox is compact and pre-filled, meaning it can be installed quickly and easily. There is no need to mix the components or wait for them to react, which saves valuable time. It is also much safer to handle than conventional potting compounds because it doesn’t contain hazardous chemicals.
The Gelbox is compatible with all WAGO 221 Series COMPACT Splicing Connectors and 2273 Series COMPACT PUSH WIRE(r) Connectors for conductor cross-sections up to 4 mm2. It can be snapped directly onto DIN-35 rails or secured to a smooth surface by two screws.
