Why Choose the WAGO 221-412 Splicing Connector with Levers?
The WAGO 221-412 is a compact 2-conductor splicing connector with levers designed for fast, secure and convenient electrical connections across a wide range of installation applications. As part of the popular WAGO 221 Series, it uses proven CAGE CLAMP® spring-pressure connection technology and accepts solid, stranded and fine-stranded copper conductors, making it an exceptionally versatile alternative to conventional screw-type connectors.
The connector's transparent polycarbonate housing allows installers to visually inspect conductor position and verify that wires have been stripped and inserted correctly. Two orange operating levers make connections straightforward: simply raise the lever, insert the stripped conductor and lower the lever to create a secure spring-pressure connection. Integrated test facilities also allow convenient electrical testing after installation.
Supporting conductors up to 4 mm², with a rated voltage of 450 V and rated current of 32 A under its IEC/EN rating, the WAGO 221-412 is suitable for numerous lighting, building wiring, equipment and electrical installation applications. Its extremely compact housing measures approximately 13.2 × 8.4 × 18.8 mm, making it particularly useful where space inside junction boxes and enclosures is limited.

Fast and Reliable Lever-Operated Electrical Connections
Splicing connectors such as the WAGO 221-412 provide a convenient way to join electrical conductors without screw terminals. The two conductor connection points share one electrical potential, allowing two conductors of the same or different supported types and cross-sections to be securely interconnected within a compact housing.
WAGO CAGE CLAMP® technology maintains reliable spring pressure on the conductor without routine retightening. Installation is straightforward: raise the orange lever, insert the correctly stripped conductor and close the lever. The transparent housing provides additional installation confidence by allowing the conductor position to be visually checked before the connection is placed into service.
Typical Applications
- Electrical junction boxes and enclosures.
- Lighting installations and lighting circuits.
- Building and domestic electrical wiring.
- Industrial machinery and equipment wiring.
- Connecting solid, stranded and fine-stranded conductors.
- Control panels and electrical assemblies.
- Equipment installation, maintenance and modification.
