Product Description
The WAGO 221-422 is a 2-conductor lever connector for joining wires without tools or crimping — lift the lever, insert the wire, close it, done.
It takes solid, stranded, and fine-stranded conductors, which matters because not every connector on the market handles fine-stranded wire reliably; WAGO's lever mechanism is built to grip all three types securely.
Where it fits a CCTV job
On camera installs you're often joining power leads, extending runs, or tidying junction boxes. This connector is rated to 32A and 450V, well beyond typical low-voltage CCTV power draw, so headroom isn't a concern. The transparent housing lets you check by eye that bare copper is seated correctly before you close the enclosure — useful when a bad connection is the actual cause of a flickering or dropped night-time image, rather than the camera itself.
Key specs
- Genuine WAGO 221-422, 2-conductor compact lever connector
- Accepts solid, stranded and fine-stranded wire
- Rated up to 32A / 450V
- Tool-free lever operation
- Transparent housing for visual checks
- Supplied as a pack of 100
Compact size means more connections fit in a standard junction box, which helps on multi-camera runs where enclosure space is tight. Because it's a bulk pack, it also suits anyone doing several installs or general electrical wiring rather than a single one-off repair.
