Reddit mentions of Wago 221-412 2-Conductor Compact Splicing Connectors (Pack of 100)

I'm also a huge fan of the WAGO 221 wire nuts. They are a little more expensive (20c each), but they are small, make rearranging things very easy and in 5 years when you switch your dimmers to the latest and greatest, the copper isn't all twisted.

If you are looking for replacements for those blocks, they're called Wago connectors. https://www.amazon.com/221-412-2-Conductor-Compact-Splicing-Connectors/dp/B00JB3U7Y6/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?keywords=wago+connectors&qid=1562623176&s=gateway&sr=8-7

Are these too big for you: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JB3U7Y6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Tn2vCb8QMZXA7

If you really do not want to solder, I recommend going with Wago 221s. You don't even need a screwdriver!

You just need two of them; cut off the wires before they terminate into the XT60, strip about 11mm of the insulation, and pair them up. Black to black, red to red. You now have solid connections and they stay room temperature for whatever print job it requires!

> I also have some push in connectors used instead of wire nuts. Can I use those for stranded wire?

Two different types, there are full push, and push/clamp, Wago makes the clamp ones that you can reuse, using just a push connector is a complete pain with stranded wire, use the nicer ones like HERE
