WAGO 2273-202 connection socket terminal COMPACT 2-wire 0.5–2.5 mm² white content_copy

The WAGO 2273-202 is a COMPACT terminal block connector, specifically designed for secure and reliable connection of single-core conductors with a maximum cross-section of 2.5 mm². The product enables the connection of two conductors in a compact housing suitable for use in electrical installations. The connector features a transparent housing colour and a white cover colour, allowing visual inspection of the connection. The maximum ambient temperature is 60 °C (T60), enabling use in indoor environments with normal operating temperatures.

Applications

The connector is intended for use in electrical installations, particularly in areas where a compact and secure connection of two conductors is required. It is suitable for applications in building technology, industrial electrical installations, and home installations. The terminal block connector is frequently used in control panels, distribution boxes, or during device wiring, where a quick and secure connection is necessary.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The connector is designed for single-core conductors, with a maximum conductor cross-section of 2.5 mm². The connection is made via a terminal block that can connect two conductors simultaneously. The transparent housing colour allows visual inspection of the connection, while the white cover colour provides a clear optical contrast. The connector is designed for ambient temperatures up to 60 °C, ensuring safe operation under normal operating conditions.

Technology Explained Simply

The COMPACT terminal block connector operates on the principle of a terminal block, where conductors are inserted into the connector and secured by a screw or pressure mechanism. The connector is designed for single-core conductors, meaning it cannot handle multi-strand or flexible conductors. The maximum conductor size of 2.5 mm² allows use with commonly used installation cables. The transparent housing colour enables visual inspection of the connection, while the white cover colour provides clear optical distinction.

Compatibility and Accessories

The connector is compatible with various accessories suitable for mounting and protecting the terminal block connector. These include Gelboxes from series 221 in different sizes (size 1, 2, and 3) with a protection rating of IP68, offering high resistance to dust and water. Additionally, a mounting adapter (part number 2273-500) is available, suitable for single-row 14 mm and double-row 18.5 mm connectors. A filling syringe with 20 ml Alu-Plus contact paste (part number 249-130) can be used to improve contact quality.

Mounting and Installation

The connector is mounted by inserting the conductors into the terminal block and then tightening using a screw or pressure mechanism. The connector is designed for simple and quick installation, with the transparent housing colour facilitating connection inspection. The white cover colour ensures clear optical distinction. The connector is intended for use in electrical installations, and mounting should be done in an appropriate distribution box or control cabinet.

Advantages in Operation

The connector provides a secure and reliable connection of two conductors with a maximum cross-section of 2.5 mm². The transparent housing colour enables visual inspection of the connection, while the white cover colour provides clear optical distinction. The connector is designed for ambient temperatures up to 60 °C, ensuring safe operation under normal operating conditions. The combination with accessories such as Gelboxes and mounting adapters enables flexible and secure installation in various application scenarios.
