Just came across a neat product at the local hardware store, but I wonder if they are up to code and safe to use. They are a wire nut that allows you to simply push the wires in, instead of twisting on a traditional wire nut.
12 wrz 2023 · Determining whether push-in connectors are up to code involves several factors, including the specific electrical code regulations in your jurisdiction, the quality of the connectors used, and the application in which they are employed.
6 sty 2022 · Installations using rail-mount terminal blocks are increasingly replacing conventional connection technology based on PE- and N-rails in both building renovations and new construction. WAGO’s system allows flexible adaptation and saves time during retrofits or expansions.
DIN VDE 0100-520 for electric cable and wiring systems in buildings clearly specifies that, in the construction of these systems, only connectors meeting the applicable European standards and the German product standards derived from them are permitted for connecting conductors.
10 gru 2021 · A push-in connector uses the constant compressive force of a spring to press the inserted conductors firmly and securely against a metal bus bar. The spring mechanism remains under constant compression, even with expansion and contraction from changes in temperature.
In Europe, WAGO certifies its installation connectors according to the ENEC process to ensure that the European standard EN 60998 is met and that the connectors conform to all procedures for obtaining the VDE mark.
PUSH IN connections are particularly suitable for solid conductors, for stranded conductors, and for fine-stranded conductors with crimped-on ferrules. Furthermore, ultrasonically welded conductors can also be connected.
