Wago 221-413 Lever-Nuts
Wago's 221-413 Lever-Nuts lead the list for terminal-block-style wire joining thanks to fast, tool-free lever operation and compact, reusable modules that dramatically cut installation time and rework costs compared with traditional screw blocks. They are particularly cost-effective on labor-intensive projects even if unit cost is higher than bare stamped screw terminals, and they outperform many DIN-rail products here by simplifying field splicing and reducing wiring errors.
