Questions
How do I choose the right LED strip connector?
You need to confirm four main parameters: 1) Strip type (COB or SMD), 2) PCB width (8mm, 10mm, or 12mm), 3) Pin count (2-pin for single color, up to 6-pin for RGB+CCT), and 4) IP rating (non-waterproof or IP65).
What is the difference between strip to wire and strip to strip connector?
A "Strip to Wire" connector connects your LED strip to a power source or controller via bare wires. A "Strip to Strip" connector joins two pieces of LED tape together, either directly end-to-end (invisible splice) or with a wire jumper in between to navigate corners.
Are these connectors compatible with COB LED strips?
Yes, there are specific series designed exclusively for COB strips. Because COB strips have a continuous phosphor coating, the COB-specific connectors use piercing technology to make contact with the PCB pads without damaging the continuous light-emitting surface.
How do I confirm the pin count and strip width?
Count the number of copper pads at the cut line on your LED strip (e.g., 2 pads = 2-pin). To find the width, measure across the PCB (the board itself, not including waterproof casing if any) using a caliper or precise ruler. Common widths are 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm.
Are waterproof LED strip connectors really IP65?
Yes, the IP65 waterproof series uses a special piercing mechanism that penetrates the silicone/PU coating to reach the PCB without requiring you to peel the waterproof layer off. This maintains the integrity of the seal, suitable for damp and wet locations.
Can I use solderless connectors for RGB and RGBW LED strips?
Yes. 4-pin connectors are available for RGB, 5-pin for RGBW, and 6-pin for RGB+CCT strips. Just ensure the PCB width matches (typically 10mm or 12mm for multi-color strips).
Need a custom led strip connector?
Voltage, CCT, CRI, PCB width, IP construction, reel length and packaging are configured per project. Send us your application and we will recommend a model and prepare samples.
