Product Description
What it is
The WAGO 221-422 is a genuine 2-conductor compact lever connector for tool-free termination of solid, stranded, and fine-stranded wire — one part number, three conductor types, no ferrules to source separately for site work.
Key specs
- 32A rated current, 450V rated voltage — well above low-voltage CCTV camera draw, so it's suitable for mains and power distribution runs on the same job
- 2-conductor, compact lever body — lifts and closes by hand, no crimp tool or torque screwdriver required
- Transparent housing — lets you verify conductor insertion depth and contact before closing up a junction box or enclosure
- Accepts solid, stranded and fine-stranded conductors without swapping connector types
- Supplied 100 per pack — bulk quantity for panel builds, first-fix wiring, or stocking a van
Where it earns its keep
On installs this connector handles the incidental wiring around a CCTV job — extending power leads, joining feeds in a junction box, tidying panel wiring — rather than the low-voltage signal cabling itself. Because it's rated well past typical camera and PoE power draw, there's no derating concern when used on 12V/24V CCTV supply runs. The see-through housing is worth noting on jobs where a poor termination is the actual cause of an intermittent or flickering feed rather than the camera hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
What current and voltage is the WAGO 221-422 rated for?
It's rated up to 32A and 450V, which covers mains and general power distribution wiring, not just low-voltage circuits.
Can it be used with fine-stranded wire, not just solid core?
Yes — the 221-422 accepts solid, stranded, and fine-stranded conductors without needing a different connector type.
Do I need a crimp tool to fit these?
No, it uses a tool-free lever: lift, insert the wire, close the lever to make the connection.
Is this the same as the 221-425 part number?
This listing is also cross-referenced as 221-425 in some catalogues, so check the exact variant against your existing stock before mixing packs.
