When it comes to connecting wires in a safe and reliable way, WAGO 4-wire connectors, such as the 773-104 and 773-604, provide the perfect solution for electricians and DIY staff alike. These connectors are designed to make wire connections quicker, safer, and more economical, offering great flexibility and reliability for various electrical applications.
Function and Advantages of WAGO 4-Wire Connectors
WAGO 4-wire connectors are ideal for solid wires and are commonly used in junction boxes for secure and efficient wire connections. The main advantages of these connectors are:
-
Economical: These connectors provide a cost-effective solution for electrical wiring. You get reliable and secure connections without having to spend a lot on other more complex solutions.
-
Easy to Use: Thanks to the Push-In Technology, these connectors can be used quickly without the need for tools like screwdrivers. Just push the wire in, and it’s done. This makes installation much faster and simpler.
-
Compact Design: The small size of the WAGO connectors is especially useful for tight spaces where conventional connectors might not fit. Their compact form factor makes them perfect for limited space installations.
Specifications of WAGO 4-Wire Connectors (773-104 vs. 773-604)
| Feature | 773-104 | 773-604 |
|---|---|---|
| Max Wire Range | 2.5mm² (solid wire) | 4mm² (solid wire) |
| Wire Type | Solid wire | Solid wire |
| Number of Positions | 4 positions | 4 positions |
| Rated Voltage | 400V | 400V |
| Rated Current | 24A | 32A |
| Wire Connection | Push-In | Push-In |
| Dimensions (mm) | 44.5 x 11.5 x 13.5 | 44.5 x 11.5 x 13.5 |
Difference in Max Wire Range:
- 773-104: Max wire range is 2.5mm² for solid wires.
-
- 773-604: Max wire range is 4mm² for solid wires.
-
While both connectors are designed for solid wires and have the same number of positions and rated voltage, the 773-604 can handle thicker wires than the 773-104.
How to Use WAGO 4-Wire Connectors
-
Insert the Wires: Simply push the wire into the connector’s push-in slot. You will hear a click, indicating the wire is securely locked in place.
-
Secure the Connection: No tools are needed, and the connection is ready to use right away.
-
Connect the Wires: Once all the wires are inserted into their respective positions, your connection is complete. The compact design of the WAGO connectors allows you to fit them into tight spaces, such as junction boxes.
