Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does M18 refer to on this led strip connector?
A:M18 refers to the metric thread size of the locking ring, which has a standard 18mm diameter. It's a common size for industrial and waterproof connectors, ensuring a secure fit.
Q: The title says 'Transparent', but the options are Black or White. Which is it?
A:The core housing where the wires connect is made of a transparent material, allowing you to easily inspect the connections. However, the durable outer PVC shell and caps are opaque, available in your choice of Black or White.
Q: Can I use this for a 4-pin RGB strip?
A:No, this is a 5-pin terminal block connector specifically designed for 5-wire systems like RGBW or RGBCCT LED strips. We offer separate 4-pin connectors for standard RGB strips.
Q: Do I need to solder wires to this plug?
A:No soldering is required. This connector features an internal screw-down terminal block. You simply insert the stripped wire ends and tighten the screws for a secure and reliable connection.
Q: What is the maximum wire size this connector can accept?
A:These terminals are designed to accommodate common wire gauges used for LED lighting, typically ranging from 22AWG to 18AWG.
Q: Is this sold as a single piece or a pair?
A:This product is sold as a complete set, which includes one male plug and one matching female plug.
Q: How waterproof is this light connector plug?
A:The combination of a screw-on locking ring and internal rubber gaskets creates a robust waterproof seal, making it suitable for outdoor use and protecting against rain, splashes, and dust.
