Which wago would you recommend for inside a light switch, please? Never used them before...

[PotatoSoup]

Hi there,

Please could someone tell me which Wago product they'd recommend to terminate the earth wire in a plastic drywall box with a plastic 10a 2 gang 2 way light switch? I've never used a wago before - quite excited to try them!

Thank you in advance

How many earth conductors need to be joined together ?
Wagos are available to connect 2,3 and upto 5 conductors.

are you just "parking " it in the back of the box so covereing the end of the cable safely? but if you are connecting more than two cables wagos are the way.

if yes, try these they are quite small and will sit in the back of the box easily

You need to get out more.
Wagos can take up quite a lot of room when you realise that you can only put one conductor in each slot in the Wago. I know it doesn't apply in this case but if you were connecting live, neutral and earth you would need 3 separate Wagos with a separate slot for every wire. You cannot shove multiple wires into one slot like you might with a chock block.
Wagos are not always the best solution.
The little push connectors that Sureitsoff has suggested above take up a lot less room than a Wago.
