Connecting things up.... - Finbar J - 2022-01-14
Hi all
I have been playing with WAGO connectors for the boat.
I need glasses for fine work, and not fond of soldering - especially as I take the pi (and sometime other components) home for messing about/testing.
Wago connectors seem to be a good solution for wiring - but be careful with the sizing - data wires need fine connectors.
They seem to beat the old screw type connectors (I might later move some of the buses - especially for 5v connectors).
I was concerned about water ingress - even moisture in the cabin.
I have found an IPx8 type box for these which I will test. you can find them here:

hope that this helps! If anyone feels that there is a problem here, please let me know.
