a 222-105 is 16.5mm long, how long is a 773-173 ?

25.6mm

sorry I meant a 222-105 is 26.5mm, so you can fit a 773-173 plus a
222-104, but not a 222-106

if you had a 173 in each side you could fit a 104 in each side and link
them giving 6 positions for CPCs.

wd it be a useful addition to the Wiki when it returns to tabulate more
of them?

could be.

Well if TLCs measurements are correct then with a 773-173 in a Wagobox slot there is just enough space left to fit a 773-104 on top, just!

Just got an email back from Wago to confirm you can fit a 773-173 and a 773-104 in one slot, result!

I don't think it's TLC's measurements, those .PDFs look like single
pages extracted from a larger Wago catalogue

or leaflets for the individual ranges?

And I should have said I've never found in one place the sizes across
ranges in a convenient document. I did find a catalogue last year but
it was a bit big at 716 pp and 90 MB. The WAGO connectors alone are
spread across 30 or so pages.

see are still widely available and, presumably, still used. Sure, such boxes
are not allowed to be used in maintenance free locations but even if
accessible who in real life actually maintains these boxes and how often?

Am I the only person who finds traditional junction boxes too easy to destroy
the terminals by over-tightening and distorting them? Modern push-in
terminals are much less easy to get wrong.

The cheap type of JB with the U shaped terminal, yes, especially if you
try and squeeze in too many cables. But there are better (and more
expensive) designs around.

Of course not. There are our apprentices.
