Introduction

Nearly every project requires many electrical connections.

Challenges

There are too many different shapes, sizes, and varieties of electrical connectors, switches, plugs, and receptacles to count. Additionally, each often requires it's own special tools, processes, consumables, etc.

Approaches

Wherever possible, replimat projects are wired with versatile and fully reusable 221-615 five position Wago lever nuts or equivalent terminal blocks (link?). These accept larger 20 - 10 gage wire than the more commonly used 221-415 connectors' 24 - 12 gage range.

The Wago 221-615 Holder/Mount allows for Wago 221-615 connectors to be panel mounted and easily reconfigurable bus bars.

Development targets

Adjust the Wago 221-615 Holder/Mount to fit the Replimat grid.
