Important!

Rules and regulations regarding electrical installations and devices vary significantly between countries, please make sure that you comply with any local regulations that may be relevant. 

The design is intended for use with a cable that plug into a socket, to be mounted under for example a desk and with devices drawing relatively low power. It is not intended for permanent installation as part of the electrical system in a house or similar or for hooking up the vacuum cleaner and hauling it around.

Always disconnect from power when adding/removing wires. 

Familiarize yourself with the specifications provided by WAGO, such as using the proper strip length of 11mm (see inside of lid for strip length indicator), current ratings and acceptable wire gauge. 

The recommended type of filament is Prusament PETG V0 (or similar) as it is flame retardant and UL certified. 

If you have any concerns regarding safety or legality, please don't print this.

 

Description

An alternative to an electrical socket, for use for example under a desk. This essentially replaces a 4-socket power strip but requires cutting off the plug at the end of the cable. Much more compact than a 4-socket power strip.

Will fit WAGO 221-415, 221-425 and 221-485. 

The box has 2 screw holes for attaching it to a surface, you can also use strong double sided adhesive if you don't want to make any holes.

Use the guides on the bottom of the box to cut the input wires to the right length. Use the guide on the inside of the lid for correct strip length of all wires.

 

Cable compatibility

Input cable tested with Ø5-8mm round cables. 
Output cables tested with Ø4-8mm round cables and a flat 5x3.3mm cable with two wires.

 

File description

You'll need to print one of each file, except for the PowerOutClamp where 4 is required.

 

Parts required

3x WAGO 221-4X5. These will work with 12-24 AWG (0.08-2.5 mm²) wire, both solid and stranded, and are rated at up to 400V / 32A. These are sold in boxes of 25 for ~20€ or can sometimes be found as single units for around 1-2€/each.

11x M3x10mm counter-sunk. Only this size is required for simplicity of sourcing parts.

2x screws for attaching the box to a surface, up to 4mm in diameter. Not required if adhesive is used.

 

Print settings

Print as shown on the slicer image, with support only required for a small part of the Box.

I printed these in PLA with a 0.60mm nozzle, 0.30mm layer height, 3 walls and 10% rectilinear infill. 

 

STEP file

Includes STEP file if you want to make any modifications.

 

Problems or feedback?

If you have any problems with the design, some feedback or any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. But please note that if what you want is really a different model, and not a slightly modified/improved one, then please look into designing one yourself.
