WAGO Box Alternatives After the Grey Range explains what happened to the familiar grey junction boxes previously sold under the WAGOBOX name.
The grey enclosures were designed and manufactured in the UK by Connexbox. They have not been discontinued; they are now sold under the Connexbox brand instead of the WAGO name. The enclosures continue to be designed for use with compatible WAGO connectors. (connexbox.com)
Why Did the Grey WAGO Boxes Change Name?
Connexbox was the original designer and manufacturer of the popular grey enclosures previously known as WAGOBOX products.
Following the end of the previous branding arrangement, Connexbox continued the range under its own name. This means installers can still purchase familiar grey junction-box designs, but the products are now labelled Connexbox. (connexbox.com)
Are the Grey Junction Boxes Discontinued?
No. The familiar grey enclosure range continues under the Connexbox brand.
The current range includes options such as:
- Connexbox Classic
- Connexbox 221-4
- Connexbox Light
- Connexbox XL
- Connexbox XLA
- Connexbox IP68 Capsule
Each enclosure is intended for particular connector types, conductor arrangements and installation requirements, so the individual product specification should be checked before ordering. (connexbox.com)
Connexbox Classic
The Connexbox Classic is designed for use with suitable WAGO 222 and 773 Series connectors.
Its compact construction allows connections to be prepared outside the enclosure before the cables and connectors are secured inside. This can make it easier to complete connections where access or enclosure space is limited. (connexbox.com)
Connexbox 221-4
The Connexbox 221-4 is intended for use with compatible WAGO 221 Series connectors.
It provides a dedicated enclosure for securing the connectors and cables as part of a completed electrical connection. The precise connector combinations and cable capacities should be confirmed from the current product information.
Connexbox Light
The Connexbox Light is intended for smaller lighting connections and other suitable applications where a compact enclosure is required.
Installers should confirm the compatible connector, cable type and circuit rating before use.
Connexbox XL and XLA
Connexbox XL and XLA enclosures provide additional internal space for larger or more complex connection arrangements.
They may suit installations involving more cables or connectors than can be accommodated in the smaller enclosures.
Connexbox JBX Pro
The JBX Pro is a newer Connexbox enclosure designed to provide more space and easier access for complex or space-restricted installations.
It is intended for use with compatible WAGO 221 4mm Series connectors and may suit power, lighting and smart-home wiring applications. (connexbox.com)
What About WAGOBOX Pro?
WAGO now offers the WAGOBOX Pro as a separate junction-enclosure product designed for WAGO 221 4mm Series connectors.
The WAGOBOX Pro is not simply the renamed version of every previous grey enclosure. It is a separate WAGO product range, while Connexbox continues the familiar grey designs under its own brand. (WAGO USA)
Choosing the Correct Junction Box
Before selecting an enclosure, check:
- The WAGO connector series being used
- The number of connectors and conductors
- Cable sizes and types
- Required cable restraint
- Available installation space
- Environmental protection requirements
- Whether maintenance-free installation is required
- Manufacturer instructions for the enclosure and connectors
Do not assume that every Connexbox or WAGOBOX enclosure is suitable for every WAGO connector.
