What's the significance of the MF mark?


"MF" officially makes them "maintenance free" see the final section of

There may be newer info for the newer 221 connectors and XL boxes.


That's very useful, thanks. It seems the 222 series would be fine for
lighting or a max 20A circuit.

The 221 series is outlined:

http://www.wago.ltd.uk/media/wago_lt...t_60341289.pdf

and claims a current rating of 32A but the table of Maintenance Free
Installation Instructions gives a max current rating of 20A, same as
the 222 series. Is this a feature of BS 5733 rather than the actual
connector?
