Best Electrical Cam-Type Connectors of 2025

"I used these in a 3 gang box for my bathroom exhaust fan and lights. With properly trimmed wires, the connection feels very secure. The ability to connect up to 5 wires in one connector saves space, which is crucial in a smaller electric box. The security and ease make it worth every penny."

"I have always appreciated the quality of Wago connectors. Unlike cheaper alternatives, they are reliable and easy to use. While they may be pricier, the quality justifies the cost. This kit is perfect for small jobs, and it comes in a clear box to keep everything organized. I never experience pull-outs with these strong connections."

"I am thrilled with the WAGO 221 lever nuts for splicing wires. They make rewiring so effortless, even for someone like me who does DIY occasionally. I used them to run a new outlet for a mini fridge, and the setup was straightforward. The connectors accommodate various wire gauges, and I found that 12ga fits perfectly. Overall, they simplify the process compared to traditional wire nuts, which can easily come undone."

"I find these connectors to be incredibly versatile and they really save me time compared to the usual gathering and twisting of wires. They are UL listed, so I know they meet code. The sturdiness and simple click connection make them a great value for the money while getting the job done effectively."

"For my large diorama, I’m using these for low voltage lighting. They are so easy to connect and I can disconnect the wires for storage without any hassle."

"My English colleague was amazed by how easy these connectors are to use compared to wire nuts. After trying them, I thought, WOW, the connections are very secure and I’ll never go back to wire nuts again!"

"After reading many reviews, I decided to try the Wago 221 lever-nut connectors for my wiring project. These connectors are brilliant! They make it so easy to connect different wire gauges, and I love how they save space in my electrical box. I'm never going back to traditional wire nuts!"

"As a General Contractor, I often face indecisive clients regarding fixture placement. Wago wire levers changed the game for me. I can quickly adjust connections without the hassle of wire nuts. This saves me time and ensures my projects run smoothly. The cost is worth the convenience!"

"I ordered these from Amazon for quick delivery when I received the wrong connectors from a big box store. I was a bit worried since they weren't the same brand as my LED tape lights, but they turned out to be easier to use than the originals. The full-color instructions were a huge help too!"

"When I first installed these connectors, I messed up a bit. However, I found that with a small flathead screwdriver, I could easily release the tabs. The diagrams on the connectors were also helpful, but I learned that I needed to split the bonded wires before inserting them to ensure a good connection. After that, they worked perfectly for days without any failures!"

"I really like these connectors. They allowed for such clean and quick installs. Even when I was using undersized wire, they did the job well. However, I did notice that the metal teeth didn't always cut through the wire casing, so I had to strip the wire myself a bit."

"I recently picked up the WAGO 221-61x Lever Nuts Assortment Kit, and I have to say, I'm thoroughly impressed! These lever wire connectors are a game-changer and a significant upgrade over traditional twist-on wire nuts. The ease of use is a standout feature. You simply lift the lever, insert the stripped wire, and push the lever back down — it's as simple as that! I appreciate the versatility of this assortment kit, which accommodates wires up to 10 AWG, making it suitable for many applications. The reusability aspect is also fantastic, allowing multiple uses without any performance loss."

"Having done electrical wiring for over 40 years, I've only started using lever nuts in the last couple of years. I find that these connectors work so much better than wire nuts. They allow me to connect thin wire to thick wire and stranded to solid wire easily. Plus, they take up less room inside an outlet box, which is crucial when there are multiple circuits crammed inside. The clear housing lets me visually verify that the wire is fully seated, unlike the knock-off brands."

"As a retired electrician, I find the Genuine WAGO connectors to be quite expensive compared to wire nuts. However, I've heard great things about them. My city's Electrical Inspector only allows Genuine WAGO UL Listed connectors, as there are many inferior copies in the market. Given the price, I'm inclined to use the WAGO connectors only in tight or hard-to-reach spaces. While the time advantage of using these compared to twisting a wire nut may be minimal, their wider range of wire size capability is certainly appealing."

"These connectors truly make traditional wire nuts obsolete for me. I used to have boxes of wire nuts, but I’ve found these to be incredibly quick and easy for retrofitting in old boxes. I recommend watching some YouTube videos before purchasing; one I saw demonstrated a pull test where the wires held up to 23 pounds! Though they are pricier than wire nuts, they have their place, and I plan to keep a few on hand. The connectors for multiple wires are the 'Cat's Meow!'"

"I used these connectors to install a ceiling fan, and they were so much easier than wire nuts. After watching several tests, I can confidently say these connectors are superior. Yes, they cost more, but it's reassuring to know they perform better. Just strip the wire to the right length, open the connector, slide in the wire, and close it. I recommend having both two and three slot connectors on hand."

"I recently got a Wago multiple connector set, which came with standard 2, 3, and 5 wire side-by-side connectors, but no 2-wire inline connectors. That's where these come into play. These connectors have one wire on each end and run inline, which is sometimes necessary for the job. My experience with the Wago brand has been excellent, and I would definitely recommend this product."

"I find these connectors amazing for quick connections. They handle a wide range of wire sizes, making my wiring jobs so much easier."

"Using these Wago connectors was a game-changer for my boat. They simplify temporary connections and eliminate the hassle of reworking them later."

"As someone who's used wire nuts for years, I was impressed by how straightforward these connectors are. It's just zip and done!"

“I got this for DIY wire repair and so far, it works well. It's a bit tricky to remove, but overall, they work great.”

“These connectors make my job ten times easier. They're smaller than standard push connectors and not bulky at all. I often use them when my junction box has multiple wires, especially since everyone wants USB outlets with Type C for charging their devices. With these connectors, I can push them neatly into the back of the box, and it looks amazing!”

“I really like the ease of use and organization of the package. The little box keeps everything separate by size, which I appreciated. My wiring job went smoothly, and the wires felt secure. However, sometimes the type of wiring can limit reusability, requiring me to trim the wires. I had a light box with short wires, and cutting them even shorter would have been a hassle.”

"I found these little wire connectors to be very easy to use and secure. I replaced the battery heads in my guitars and it was a breeze. I wouldn't recommend them for wet applications, though, as shrink tubes are better for that."

"I ordered both the 2 wires splice and 3 wire splice connectors. Some arrived locked and others open, which took me a bit to figure out. A pocket knife helped me release the locking tabs, and then I could easily open them. After that, using them was straightforward."

"These connectors arrived a day earlier than expected, which I appreciated! Using them couldn’t be easier—you don’t even need to strip the wires. Just slide them in and snap the lid down. It’s a quick fix compared to the old way of soldering and using heat shrink tubes. I'd definitely recommend them!"

“I found these connectors incredibly easy to use! I used them to replace the old light fixtures in my basement, and they work perfectly. A tip I’d share is to go straight for the triples instead of doubles since you might have extra wires. Wire nuts just can't compete!”

“These connectors are fantastic! I just wish they had been available sooner. I've used them on various projects and job sites, and they perform really well every time.”

“I decided to use these for my above-ground telephone line connections. Although the directions were a bit sketchy, I appreciated that I didn’t need any special tools or crimpers. They appear to be a reliable alternative to wire nuts, especially for 24ga wire.”
