Hi all,

Was looking at buying a set of wago connectors from screwfix and I came across some 2273 wago connectors that claimed to take up to 4mm^2 cable and were 32A rated, now I thought the 2273 series were all only 24A rated and could only take up to 2.5mm^2 cable. A search on wago's website doesn't turn up any results for 32A rated 2273 connectors, only the 24A ones. Also the 32A ones don't appear to be sold by TLC or CEF etc.

Could these supposedly 32A rated connectors be fakes that have somehow made it onto screwfix shelves or has anyone here come across them?

Thanks for any replies!

Indeed it does.

Never used 2273 and thought that they may have been a beefed up version of the 773.

Thank you, I stupidly hadn't spotted the difference between 2273 and 2773 ?‍♂️

Don't worry about it, I hadn't noticed you'd put 2273 until your above post,,, I just copied 2773-402 from Screwfix and googled it.
