Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer delivery across South Africa?
Yes, Discart delivers nationwide including Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and all major regions.
How long does delivery take?
Delivery typically takes 2–5 working days depending on your location.
What does "5 In / 5 Out" mean on the PCT-222?
The PCT-225 has ten colorful wire ports — five designated as inputs and five as outputs — allowing you to split or join two sets of conductors simultaneously. All four ports are electrically common (equipotential), making it ideal for parallel wiring, branching circuits, and junction applications.
Can I mix different wire gauges in the same connector?
Yes. Each port has its own independent copper shrapnel contact, which means wires of different gauges and types (solid or stranded) can be safely combined in a single connector. For example, a 1.5 mm² solid wire and a 2.5 mm² stranded wire can be connected together without risk of a loose connection on either end.
Is the PCT-225 suitable for outdoor or high-humidity environments?
The PCT-225 is designed for indoor and protected environments. The PA66 housing offers good resistance to moisture, corrosion, and aging; however, for direct outdoor exposure or submerged applications, additional IP-rated weatherproof enclosures are recommended to protect the connector from rain and condensation.
What is the maximum temperature the connector can handle?
The PCT-225 is rated for continuous operation at temperatures up to 105 °C, making it suitable for use in lighting fixtures, motor connections, and other applications that generate moderate heat during normal operation.
Does this connector work with both solid and stranded (flexible) wire?
Yes. The PCT-225 accepts solid (hard) wire from 0.08–4.0 mm² and stranded (flexible/soft) wire from 0.08–2.5 mm², covering AWG 28 through AWG 12. This versatility makes it suitable for almost all residential and light commercial wiring situations.
How many times can I reuse the PCT-222?
The spring-lever mechanism is engineered for repeated use — the connector can be opened and reclosed dozens of times without significant degradation of the contact force or electrical performance. This makes it excellent for prototyping, temporary installations, and situations where rewiring may be required in the future.
Is the PCT-225 compatible with WAGO 222 Series connectors?
The PCT-225 is designed to the same form factor and specification class as the widely-used WAGO 222 series, with comparable rated voltage (400 V) and current (32 A) ratings. While individual electrical performance may vary by manufacturer, the PCT-222 can generally serve as a compatible alternative in the same applications.
Do I need to use the test holes? What are they for?
The test holes are optional but highly convenient. They allow you to insert a multimeter probe directly into the connector cage to measure voltage or continuity without disassembling the connection or removing insulation. This is especially useful during fault-finding, commissioning, or verifying circuit polarity.
How does the PCT-225 compare to traditional wire nuts or screw terminals?
Unlike wire nuts (which rely on friction and can loosen due to vibration or thermal cycling) or screw terminals (which require correct torque and can damage wire strands), the PCT-225's spring-clamp mechanism maintains constant contact pressure regardless of temperature changes. It is also significantly faster to install, reduces the risk of installer error, and is fully reusable — offering clear advantages in both quality and productivity.
What wire stripping length is recommended?
For optimal contact, strip approximately 10–12 mm of insulation from each wire end before insertion. Too little exposed conductor may result in a weak connection; too much may expose live copper outside the connector body.
