[feature] Support for Wago connectors #45
Comments
@aakatz3 The Wire Nut have all the wires connected in the same "hole" and can probably use the existing ferrule/splice with all wires connected from one side. @formatc1702 should have this in mind when he plan to rename the connector category value as mentioned in issue #26 (comment) |
Like @kvid mentioned, both wire nuts and Wago 221 series connectors behave very much like a splice, electrically speaking. Thus, they should be represented as such in WireViz.
For a functional representation of the wiring (which is what WireViz is for), this is irrelevant, and also hard to implement in the current code. See example 05: If the orientation is really important, I guess it could be achieved defining the Wago as a connector, and making sure it is to the left/right of all connecting elements, a little like example 06, if you imagine I will therefore close this issue and refer to #26 for now. |
As a bonus, here's how the image in the first comment might be rendered in WireViz: I realize the text to generate the connections is not very compact, this is an issue that could be addressed in the future (#67). cables:

Wago connectors are a common kind of splicing connectors, a modern alternative to twist-on wire connectors.
Differently from in-line splicing connectors (see feature request #26), wires in Wago connectors are all on the same side of the connector. It would be nice if this important property could be carried over in the graphical representation.
