There not fake , they are genuine wago just unbranded and made to a slightly lesser quality . Wago is a German company but they are not made solely in Germany by wago they have them manufactured in Germany china Holland America the uk and Australia but mostly in china who have the license to manufacture them unbranded as well as branded. It part of the trade deal countries have with each other. But sadly they are also fake on the market . And you can tell the difference between them.

Cheapo wire connectors – unsafe and useless in any situation. Do not buy or use these.

The SpliceLine™ connectors are one of the easiest ways of joining two wires together without an specialised tools such as crimping pliers.

You’ve probably seen me use the click-open terminals for making quick mains connections to stuff I’m testing, and while it’s not an official use for these terminals it works fine for me. A few of you have asked what sort of terminals they are, so here’s a quick overview of the different types of Wago terminals and how they are used.

The Wagobox is a really clever system that makes wiring easier, faster and less finger-intensive. Much better than the older style round fixed-terminal junction boxes. They’re basically plastic enclosures with snap-shut lids, that have adjustable cable grips that are put under pressure when the lid is shut, compartments for holding the terminals and a space for the wiring itself.

One of the nicest features of these boxes is that all the wires can be the same length, and all the connections can be quickly and easily made outside the box before just slotting them in.

Here’s a link to the UK website of the Wagobox. https://www.connexbox.com/

Comments:

Connections must always be done in junction boxes and boxes must always be accessible.

One should avoid alibaba and china made stuff in general. I have seen too many shit stuff.. The plastic is shit, they are using recycled material. They may not be using real copper for connection. They could do anything to make a buck.. Most of them are just too poor to realize the environment is more important than money.

Don’t forget also to mension WISH, Banggood, lightinthebox and ebay

I’ve learned the hard way with cheap fago and i was able to break 4 levers of the 6 on one of the units without many strenght. yeah good plastic indeed
