    Hello!
    Can I use a wire type cable with a crimped sleeve for a wago connector designed for wire only. The ones designed for wire are smaller in size and I'm installing ceiling led panels and the wago 221 connectors (designed for wire and cable) are too thick to fit between the panel and the ceiling. :( .

    This must not be done. There are special Wago 221 fittings for the cables

    If you are fitting LED panels then check the wago connectors to the circuit boards.

    Catalogue one thing and life another.... If you have a badly tightened bushing the cable may come out.

    arlix , you need a professional crimper and nothing will "come out".

    Richard49. The quote you posted refers to the ZUG letters and not to the Wago connectors that are fitted to sockets and lighting.

    Well, that's where slat connectors come in, not quick installation connectors. In any case, using a sleeve in wire connectors is a very poor idea.

    magnus27 How much room do you have in there that 221-412 doesn't go in?

    These are ZUG fittings and not installation fittings. And the author is probably referring to installation fittings.

    Xaveri what you wrote is obviously a joke?

    The pinnacle of wirewiring is the fitting of tinned wire to a twisted connector. Unfortunately, this solution has been used by many manufacturers of, for example, luminaires.

    Then maybe just a Wago lighting connector would be a good solution? If not then I guess scraping a hole in the plaster is the answer.

Topic summary

The discussion centers around the use of a wire-type cable with a crimped sleeve in Wago connectors, specifically the Wago 221 series, which are designed for wire connections. Participants emphasize that using a crimped sleeve in these connectors is inadvisable, as there are specific Wago fittings for cables. Concerns are raised about the potential for a poorly secured connection, with suggestions for using professional crimpers to ensure reliability. Alternatives such as Wago lighting connectors are proposed for fitting LED panels, with some participants questioning the space available for the connectors in the installation area.
