Will this work with my 10mm or 8mm RGBW strip?

No, this connector is precision-molded specifically for 12mm wide COB strips. Using it with other sizes will result in a poor or failed connection.

Can I use this for waterproof COB strips?

This connector is for non-waterproof (IP20) strips only. The piercing contacts are not designed to penetrate the protective silicone or epoxy coatings on waterproof strips.

Is this compatible with regular SMD 5050 LED strip lights?

No, this connector is engineered specifically for the continuous-chip design of COB RGBW strips. It will not work with traditional SMD chip strips.

DIY Projects & Custom Fixtures Ideal for hobbyists and creators building custom light fixtures or integrating accent lighting into furniture. These connectors simplify the wiring process, allowing you to focus on your design.

How to Use This COB Strip Connector

Ensure the main power is turned off before installation.
Cut your 12mm RGBW COB strip cleanly at the designated cut mark.
Carefully slide the end of the COB strip into the connector. Ensure the 5 copper pads on the strip are aligned with the 5 metal pins inside.
For the Strip-to-Wire model, insert the five corresponding wires (22AWG) into their guide channels.
Firmly press the metal pins down. This action drives the pins through the strip's backing, making the connection.
Gently tug on the strip (and wires, if applicable) to confirm they are securely fastened.

⚠ Precautions

This connector is designed exclusively for 12mm wide, 5-pin, IP20 non-waterproof RGBW COB LED strips.

Double-check that the polarity markings on the strip align correctly before closing the connector.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between 'Strip to Strip' and 'Strip to Wire'?

A:The 'Strip-to-Strip' type joins two separate COB strips end-to-end to create a longer, continuous run. The 'Strip-to-Wire' type connects a COB strip to loose wires for linking to a power supply or an RGBW controller.

Q: Do I need to solder anything?

A:No, this is a completely solderless connector. It uses a piercing clamp mechanism to establish a secure electrical connection when you snap it shut.

Q: Will this leave a dark spot in my lighting?

A:This connector is designed to be very compact, holding the strip ends close together to minimize any unlit gaps and maintain a seamless appearance.

Q: What tools are required for installation?

A:You only need a pair of scissors to cut the COB strip at the designated cut points and a crimping pliers to press the connector pins down. No other special tools are required.
