What type of LED strip is this connector for?

This connector is specifically designed for 10mm wide, 3-pin CCT (tunable white / dual white) LED light strips.

Do I need to strip the wires before connecting them?

No, this is a solderless, insulation-piercing connector. The metal blades inside will cut through the wire's insulation to make contact automatically when you clamp it shut.

Can this connector be used with waterproof LED strips?

Yes, it is compatible with IP65 rated strips that have a silicone coating on top. You will need to scrape off the coating from the copper contact points before inserting the strip.

What is the maximum length of LED strip I can run with one connector?

The connector itself is rated for 10A, which is quite high. The maximum length of your strip will depend more on its power consumption (W/m) and the limitations of your LED power supply.

What is the difference between the two purchase options?

You can purchase the connector head by itself, or you can select the option that includes the connector with a 1.64ft (0.5m) 3-conductor wire pre-attached for your convenience.

Can I use this for RGB or single color strips?

No, this connector has 3 pins specifically for CCT strips (+, WW, CW). For RGB or single color strips, you would need a 4-pin or 2-pin connector, respectively.

Create clean, reliable connections for your CCT tunable white lighting projects with our 3 Pin 10mm Solderless LED Strip Connector. Designed for simplicity and strength, this connector eliminates the need for soldering, making it easy to link your your dual color led strip to a power source or controller. What sets this connector apart is the option to get it with a pre-attached 1.64ft (0.5m) extension wire, providing the extra length you need to bridge gaps or reach your power supply neatly. Its robust design supports an impressive 10A maximum current, ensuring stable performance even for longer strip segments. This is the ideal solution for creating custom-length jumpers or power leads for both non-waterproof and IP65 coated LED strips.

Key Features

Solderless Clamp-Down Design

Achieve a secure, reliable connection in seconds without any soldering; simply clamp the connector shut.

Optional 1.64ft Extension Wire

Choose the pre-wired version to easily connect strips to a controller or power source that isn't immediately adjacent.

Broad Strip Compatibility

Perfectly fits any 10mm wide 3-pin SMD LED strips, including both non-waterproof (IP20) and surface-coated waterproof (IP65) types.

Secure Piercing Connection

Sharp copper pins pierce through the strip's PCB and wire insulation for a tight, stable grip that won't loosen over time.

Technical Highlights

The insulation-piercing contacts at the wire end make a secure connection without needing to strip the wires first.
At the strip end, the pins penetrate the PCB from the back, ensuring a solid mechanical and electrical bond, even with adhesive tape.
Engineered to handle a wide voltage range from 5V to 24V DC, accommodating various low-voltage LED strip systems.

DIY Lighting Projects An essential accessory for any DIY enthusiast. Quickly connect segments of 3-pin CCT strips for custom fixtures, display case lighting, or task lighting setups, ensuring a professional and durable result every time.

How to Use This Connector

Ensure your LED strip is 10mm wide and has 3 copper contact points. Make sure your power supply is turned off.
Open the transparent cover of the connector.
Slide the LED strip into the connector, ensuring the 3 copper pads on the strip align perfectly with the 3 pins inside the connector.
If using the pre-wired version, ensure the wire colors correspond to the correct polarity on your controller or power supply (+, WW, CW).
Press the transparent cover down firmly. Using a pair of pliers to gently and evenly apply pressure can ensure a secure connection.
The connection is complete. You can now connect the wire to your power source or controller.

⚠ Precautions

Verify that the polarity (+, WW, CW) of the strip aligns with the wire channels before closing the connector.
This connector is not suitable for IP67/IP68 silicone tube waterproof strips.
