Product Information
Effortlessly join single color LED light strips with the SC-ACCESSORIES-026 Solderless Button Connector. Designed for maximum convenience, this connector eliminates the need for soldering, making it perfect for both DIY enthusiasts and professional installers. Its key innovation is its dual compatibility, allowing you to create a secure, reliable connection for both IP65 epoxy-coated waterproof strips and standard non-waterproof (bare board) strips. Whether you're extending a run of 5050 or 3528 LED tape lighting or reconnecting cut segments, this compact board-to-board connector ensures a clean and stable electrical link. Available for both 8mm and 10mm wide PCBs, it's the versatile solution for quick and seamless lighting installations.
Key Features
Solder-Free Installation

Application Scenarios
How to Use This Solderless Connector
- Step 1: Select the correct connector size (8mm or 10mm) to match the PCB width of your LED strip.
- Step 2: Gently pry open the transparent cover of the connector.
- Step 3: Cut your LED strip cleanly along the designated cutting line.
- Step 4: Slide the end of the LED strip into the connector, ensuring the copper pads on the strip align with the metal contact pins inside the connector.
- Step 5: Firmly press the cover down until it snaps shut, securing the strip and making the connection.
- Step 6: Gently tug on the strip to confirm it is held securely. Connect to power to test the light.
- Ensure the polarity (+ and -) on both LED strips are aligned correctly before connecting.
- This connector is for joining two strips. It cannot be used to connect a strip directly to a power supply.
- The connector itself is not waterproof. If used with IP65 strips in a damp environment, the connection point must be sealed with silicone glue or heat shrink tubing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to scrape off the epoxy coating on my IP65 waterproof strip before using this connector?
A:No, you do not. This connector is designed with piercing contacts that make a connection through the epoxy coating. Just ensure the strip is cut cleanly.
Q: Can I use this for RGB or RGBW color-changing LED strips?
A:No, this is a 2-pin connector specifically designed for single color (monochrome) LED strips. For RGB strips, you would need a 4-pin connector.
Q: What is the difference between the 8mm and 10mm options?
A:The size refers to the width of the LED strip's circuit board (PCB). You must choose the connector size that matches your strip's width for a proper fit.
Q: Is the connection itself waterproof?
A:No, the connector is not waterproof. While it can be used with IP65 strips, the connection point must be independently sealed (e.g., with silicone adhesive) if it will be exposed to moisture.
Q: Can I use this connector to go around a 90-degree corner?
A:This connector is for creating straight, continuous runs. While it has some slight flexibility, for sharp 90-degree corners we recommend using an L-shaped corner connector.
Q: How many times can I open and close the connector?
A:The connector is designed to be reusable, but for the most reliable connection, we recommend minimizing the number of times it is opened and closed to prevent wear on the clasp and contact pins.
