WAGO 221 Series Green Range Splicing Connectors
WAGO 221 Series
Green Range Splicing Connectors
The familiar lever-operated connection method with a plastic mix designed to keep more existing resources in circulation.
WAGO reworked its 221 Series Splicing Connector with Levers using partially bio-circular and recycled plastics. The housing uses 77% bio-circular polycarbonate, while the lever contains at least 27% recycled PBT derived in part from post-consumer PET.
WAGO states that the Green Range version retains the same technical data, certifications, copper, spring steel, and supported applications as the standard 221 Series connector. This allows sustainability goals to be considered without introducing a different connection method for installers and maintenance teams.
Approximately two-thirds of the connector's total plastic uses the more sustainable material mix. WAGO also packages the product in grass paper containing up to 30% grass fiber and approximately 70% recycled paper.
Application note: Confirm the selected catalog number, conductor types and sizes, electrical ratings, approvals, enclosure requirements, and environmental conditions against WAGO's current product documentation before use.
