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 type of connector often requires it's own special tools, processes, and consumables such as crimping, soldering, welding, 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?). This is a larger version of the 221-415 connector and accepts 20 - 10 gage wire as opposed to 24 - 12 gage range accessible with the 221-415.
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.
