Looking for internal dimensions of Wago wiring center (L32 L60)

[joth]

Anyone got any of these and could post a picture of it with a tape measure up against?

Context is I'm looking for a small enclosure for ESP32 microcontroller, with captive terminal block (for easy wiring peripherals in, like 1-wire sensors). Ideally I'd like space to put a ESP-PoE in it, about 100mm long with the ethernet jack (a bit less if I can cut a hole in the case to have the jack externally accessible). I can use smaller wifi only devices too, if necessary.

 

There's plenty of wiring centers with chock-block mounted inside, but not so much with sprung terminal connectors. Interested if there's other options available? For larger installations I have DIN rail cabinets, but DIN mounted terminals work out very space inefficient for remote sensor device where I just need a small microcontroller board and 3x 5 way Wago (for example).

Use a standard enclosure and some printed holders? I could graft a DIN rail clip onto the model easy enough.

Cute!

To be clear, I'm specifically not looking for DIN mount, but printing a holder had never occurred to me. I'm time-poor so if something like that is available commercially, for WAGO 221 3 or 5 way that would be ideal

 

You are very neat with your cable tying.

 

Have you considered a career in hand modelling?

That was done to take a 3+2+3+5.

 

Could do you whatever combination pretty much at the drop of a hat. What about a mounting tag etc?

 

Always interested in a hand job... ?

You can get a strain relief plate 222-505 which has holes in to screw down:

To which you clip mounting carriers:

 

 

Good old chunky 222 connectors in a 222-500 carrier:

Or the newer 221s in a 221-500 carrier, so the same plate fits both:

 

 

You can see with the 221s you can flick the lever still/access the wire. With the 222 you have to faff and slide them all out potentially to get to just one. 

 

Which is why I designed my grey 3D printed ones. Now if I had some orange filament...and it was fire retardant...?

 

Tbh I find navigating the Wago website and part numbers only slightly less confusing than Geberit!

According to an Amazon Q&A the external dims of the L32  are..

 

159mm long x 114mm wide x 35mm deep. 

Scale up a photo to that size in with a cad program or even MS Word then read off the internal dims.

I was passing TLC so I just bought one (L32)
