Custom Retail Displays and Shelving Build intricate, multi-level illuminated displays by easily connecting strip segments. The flexible wire makes it simple to route lighting around shelf brackets and corners for a professional finish.

How to Use This COB LED Connector

Ensure the power to your LED strip system is completely turned off before installation.
Carefully slide the end of your 12mm RGBW COB strip into the connector. Make sure the copper contact points on the strip align correctly with the metal pins inside.
Use a pair of pliers to apply pressure across the connector. This action drives the pins through the strip's PCB, securing the connection.
Gently tug on both strips to ensure they are securely fastened. Once confirmed, you can restore power to test the connection.

⚠ Precautions

This connector is designed exclusively for 12mm wide, 5-pin, IP20 non-waterproof RGBW COB LED strips. It will not work with SMD strips, waterproof strips, or strips of any other width.
Always verify that the polarity and color channels (+, R, G, B, W) on your strip align with the markings or pin positions of the connector before closing the clamps.
Applying firm pressure with pliers is crucial for a reliable, long-lasting connection. An improper connection may result in flickering or no light.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to solder anything?

A:No, this is a completely solderless led connector. It uses an insulation-piercing clamp system to create a secure electrical connection.

Q: Why do I need to use pliers?

A:Using pliers to clamp the cover shut ensures the metal pins fully pierce the flexible PCB of the COB strip. This creates a much more secure and reliable connection than finger pressure alone.

Q: What is the difference between the '3+2 to 2+3 pin type' and '2+3 to 2+3 pin type' options?

A:This refers to the physical arrangement of the pins inside the connector housing. Different COB strips have different layouts, so please inspect your strip's pin configuration to select the matching connector.

Q: Can I use this 5 pin connector to go around a 90-degree corner?

A:Absolutely. The flexible 15cm wire is ideal for making sharp turns, including 90-degree corners, without risking damage to the LED strip itself.

Q: Can I cut the wire to make it shorter?

A:While it is physically possible, we do not recommend modifying the connector. Cutting the wire would require you to re-strip and connect it manually, defeating the purpose of a solderless solution.
