Product Information
Eliminate the hassle of soldering with our 8mm 2-Pin Solderless Quick Connector, the perfect solution for joining and powering your 3528 single color LED strips. Designed for speed and reliability, this connector makes custom LED installations, extensions, and repairs incredibly simple. The intuitive snap-down buckle creates a firm, secure electrical contact on bare board LED strips without any special tools. Available in two essential configurations—Strip-to-Strip for seamlessly linking two segments, and Strip-to-Wire for connecting your strip to a power source—this connector is a must-have in any DIYer's or professional's toolkit. It’s the ideal choice for creating clean, professional connections for under-cabinet lighting, accent lighting, and other custom projects using 8mm monochrome strips.
Key Features
Effortless Solder-Free Connections
Features a snap-shut design that securely pierces the strip's contacts, creating a reliable connection in seconds without any soldering.
Precise Compatibility
Engineered specifically for 8mm wide, 2-pin bare board (non-waterproof) 3528 single color LED strips.
Two Versatile Configurations
Choose between Strip-to-Strip to join two strip segments end-to-end or Strip-to-Wire to connect a strip to power leads.
Secure Locking Mechanism
The robust butt buckle design ensures the LED strip is held firmly in place, preventing accidental disconnections and ensuring stable performance.

Application Scenarios
How to Use This Solderless Connector
- Ensure the power supply is disconnected before starting.
- Cut your 8mm 2-pin LED strip cleanly along the marked copper cut line.
- Open the transparent cover of the solderless connector until it clicks.
- Carefully slide the end of the LED strip into the connector, ensuring it goes underneath the two metal contact prongs.
- Verify that the '+' and '-' markings on the LED strip align correctly with the markings on the connector.
- Press the transparent cover down firmly until it snaps securely shut. You should feel a distinct click.
- For Strip-to-Wire connectors, insert the corresponding wires into the wire slots before closing the cover.
- Gently tug on the strip and wires to confirm a secure connection. You can now connect to your power source and test the lights.
- These connectors are designed for 8mm wide, 2-pin single color LED strips only. They are not compatible with 10mm, RGB, or waterproof (silicone-coated) strips.
- Always double-check the polarity (+ and -) before closing the connector to prevent damage to your LEDs.
- Ensure the strip is cut straight across the copper pads for optimal contact.
- Do not exceed the maximum current rating of 5A to avoid overheating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to solder anything with this connector?
A:No, this is a completely solder-free connector. It uses a snap-down mechanism to create a secure electrical connection, making it perfect for quick and easy installations.
Q: Will this connector work with my 10mm RGB LED strip?
A:No, this connector is specifically designed for 8mm wide, 2-pin single color LED strips, such as the 3528 series. It will not fit or function correctly with 10mm or 4-pin RGB strips.
Q: What is the difference between the 'Strip to Strip' and 'Strip to Wire' options?
A:The 'Strip to Strip' connector is used to join two separate pieces of LED strip together to create a longer run. The 'Strip to Wire' connector is used to attach a pair of power wires to the end of an LED strip.
Q: Is this connector waterproof?
A:No, this model is designed for use with bare board (non-waterproof) LED strips in dry, indoor locations. It does not provide any water resistance.
Q: How do I ensure I have a good connection?
A:Make sure the LED strip is slid all the way in, underneath the metal contact pins. Also, confirm the positive (+) and negative (-) markings are aligned before firmly snapping the cover shut.
Q: Can I reuse the connector if I make a mistake?
A:Yes, you can carefully pry the clasp back open with a small tool to remove or reposition the strip. However, repeated opening and closing may reduce the clasp's holding strength.
Q: What type of wire should I use with the Strip-to-Wire connector?
A:We recommend using 20-22 AWG stranded wire for the best connection. Ensure the wire insulation is stripped to the correct length before insertion.
