WAGO Connector PCT-218 (8 Pin)
The WAGO Connector PCT-218 (8 Pin) is a high-capacity lever-operated push-wire connector designed to simplify complex wiring tasks for up to eight wires. It is perfect for parallel or branch wiring in large junction boxes, multi-way lighting systems, and distribution panels where multiple conductors need to be connected quickly and safely.
Using WAGO’s trusted lever clamp technology, you simply lift the levers, insert the stripped wires, then close the levers to secure them in place — no tools, twisting, or soldering needed. The transparent housing allows visual confirmation of proper wire seating, ensuring maximum safety and installation confidence. Reusable and compact despite its capacity, the PCT-218 is a must-have for electricians handling larger circuit connections and for projects where neatness and flexibility are crucial.
