The WAGO 222-412 is a 2-wire connection terminal from the CLASSIC series, designed for secure and reliable connection of electrical conductors in installations. The device features actuating levers, enabling easy and quick installation, and is finished in grey colour. It is intended for use in home automation systems and other electrical installations where a stable and durable connection is required.

Applications
This connection terminal is suitable for use in electrical installations, particularly in home automation, where it is used to connect conductors with cross-sections from 0.08 to 2.5 mm². The maximum continuous operating temperature is 85 °C, making it suitable for applications in indoor and protected environments. The terminal is designed for all types of conductors, including bare and insulated, and can be mounted in switch boxes, distribution enclosures, or other electrical distribution units.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The terminal features actuating levers that enable mechanical tensioning of the conductors. These levers ensure that the conductors can be inserted and secured in the terminal without additional tools. The connection is achieved through mechanical clamping, ensuring a stable electrical contact. The grey colouring supports visual differentiation in complex installations.

Technology Explained Simply
The 222-412 operates on the principle of a screw terminal, but without a screw, instead using an actuating lever that compresses the clamping jaws. This allows for a quick and secure connection without requiring a screwdriver or other tools. The maximum continuous operating temperature of 85 °C ensures reliable performance even under increased thermal load, as may occur in electrical switchgear. The terminal is designed for a maximum conductor cross-section of 4 mm², with the specified range being 0.08 to 2.5 mm².

Compatibility and Accessories
For mounting and securing the terminal in distribution enclosures or switch boxes, the accessory 222-500 mounting adapter orange for 2-5 pole can be used. This adapter enables secure fixation of the terminal in suitable enclosures and is specifically designed for use with the 222-412. The combination of terminal and adapter ensures a stable and orderly installation.

Mounting and Installation
Installation is performed by inserting the conductors into the terminal and actuating the lever, which clamps the conductors securely. The terminal can be mounted in standard distribution enclosures or switch boxes. When using the mounting adapter 222-500, the terminal is inserted into the adapter, which is then installed into the enclosure. No additional tools are required to mount the terminal.

Operational Advantages
Using the WAGO 222-412 provides a quick and secure connection of conductors without tools. The actuating levers ensure a mechanically stable connection that remains secure even under mechanical stress during operation. The terminal is suitable for a wide range of conductor types and allows flexible application in various installation scenarios. The maximum continuous operating temperature of 85 °C ensures reliable performance even under increased thermal loads.
