WAGO 773-493 PUSH WIRE Splicing Connector 3-Conductor 6 mm² Pack of 50

The WAGO 773-493 is a 3-conductor PUSH WIRE splicing connector from the 773 Series, designed for safe, quick connections of solid and stranded copper conductors in junction boxes. It accepts conductor cross sections from 2.5 to 6 mm² (14-10 AWG) with no tools required for conductor insertion. Rated at 550 V and 42 A per EN 60079 (Ex e II), it carries ATEX certification for use in hazardous locations.

Sold as a pack of 50 pieces.

Features and benefits:

• Tool-free PUSH WIRE connection uses the conductor's own stiffness to overcome the clamping spring contact force - the fastest available clamping method per WAGO
• Accepts solid and stranded copper conductors from 2.5 to 6 mm² without ferrules or additional tooling
• ATEX certified for hazardous areas (II 2 G Ex eIIC Gb) and UL listed under UL 486C (E69654)
• Side-entry wiring design allows installation in any position or location inside a junction box
• Must be used with WAGO mounting carrier 773-331, which supports DIN-35 rail and screw mounting (sold separately)

Applications:

• Splicing solid and stranded conductors in junction boxes during building electrical installations
• Wiring in hazardous (Ex) areas where ATEX certification is required
• DIN rail or screw-mounted connection arrangements using the 773-331 mounting carrier
• On-site connections up to 6 mm² where tool-free termination is required
