There is one more thing to consider that just hit me while looking at
a Wago. I don't think the insulation of a #10 PV wire is going to fit into
the 221-6XX connector. I need to check on that.

I agree and I just got written confirmation from Wago that said (regarding
the 221-4XX series):
WAGO's U.L. Recognition for Series 221 does Not differentiate between AC or
DC Just Not to exceed 20A
600V Building Wire or 1000V Luminaires or Signs
No Special designation is required.

Thanks Dan, that has also been my understanding of all listed
equipment. Certain switches etc will say on them "AC only", or give
different DC ratings. Otherwise the voltage listing is AC/DC.

Esteemed Wrenches; I spoke with engineers at both Wago and 3M today
regarding the AC vs. DC ratings of Wago 221 and other wire splicing
products. Both engineers stated that standard UL486C (Splicing Wire
Connectors) applies to *both* AC and DC voltages unless the product is
specifically listed for

In another thread these connectors were discussed recently. There was a
question regarding the suitability for DC circuits. I don't think we came up
with any answers or consensus on that. I see the connectors are UL listed

Friends:
Call me old fashioned, but I cannot get any confidence on the Wago connector.
It seems somewhat akin to the back-wire mechanism on a 15A receptacle. This
connection relies

This whole high voltage connection discussion got me searching, and I found
Phoenix Contact makes a DIN rail mount terminal block that is 1000 v rated.
That would seem to make way more sense than using MC 4 connects
