Product Information
The waterproof 3-prong SMD led strip light connector pigtail provides a solderless electrical bridge for low-voltage linear lighting installations. Engineered specifically for CCT tunable white SMD LED strips and single-signal addressable SMD LED strips, this 20cm connector pairs a clear puncture clasp terminal on one end with 3 bare wire leads (red, black, and white) on the other. It establishes stable contact on silicone-encased IP67 and IP68 tape lights without stripping the protective outer sheath. Available in 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm bare PCB widths, the transparent housing allows silicone sealant injection to restore watertight integrity after cutting. Designed for 5V, 12V, and 24V DC circuits carrying up to 6A current, this pigtail enables quick hookups to remote drivers, smart controllers, or junction boxes across indoor wet zones and outdoor architectural projects.
Key Features
Direct Piercing Contact
Internal alloy pins pierce directly through the protective silicone coating to contact copper solder pads without pre-stripping.
Transparent Sealant Reservoir
Clear polycarbonate shell retains visual light continuity and features open injection ports for adding silicone sealant.
20CM Multi-Color Lead
Integrated 20cm copper wire pigtail with color-coded red, black, and white lines simplifies terminal block and controller wiring.
6A Current Handling
Rated for operating loads up to 6A across DC 5V, 12V, and 24V circuits without excessive heat buildup.
Three PCB Width Options
Available in 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm bare board formats to match dual-white CCT and single-data digital IC tapes.
Technical Highlights
- Specifically engineered for SMD LED strip lights; not compatible with COB continuous tape lights.
- Compatible with IP67 and IP68 Silicone-Coated Tape Lights using hollow sleeve or solid silicone injection.
- Width selection corresponds strictly to inner bare PCB width: 8mm PCB fits ~10mm outer tube, 10mm PCB fits ~12mm outer tube, and 12mm PCB fits ~14mm outer tube.
- Open cap ports allow 704 or neutral silicone sealant to backfill cut boundaries, restoring environmental moisture resistance.
- Solderless pressure clamp secures electrical continuity in wet location setups, eliminating field soldering irons.

Application Scenarios
How to Install & Wire This Connector
- Measure the bare PCB width of your 3-wire SMD LED strip (8mm, 10mm, or 12mm) to select the matching connector size.
- Cut the waterproof LED strip cleanly along the marked cut line using sharp shears, ensuring copper contact pads are fully exposed and undamaged.
- Slide the waterproof LED strip end into the connector clasp, align the positive and negative/data copper pads with the corresponding pins of the clear puncture terminal.
- Press down the clear clamp firmly until the piercing pins penetrate through the silicone and lock onto the copper solder points.
- Connect the bare 20cm pigtail leads (red, black, white) to your terminal block, smart controller, or power feed according to your strip circuit diagram.
⚠ Precautions
- Verify polarity and pin assignments before snapping the connector shut; reversing 3-wire DC connections can damage digital IC chips.
- Always size your connector choice by the bare PCB width (8mm, 10mm, or 12mm), not the outer dimension of the silicone jacket.
- Allow injected silicone sealant to cure completely (typically 24 hours) before exposing the junction to rain or wet conditions.
- Total load through this connector must not exceed 6A DC.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: are led strip lights waterproof when using this connector?
A:The connector preserves IP67 and IP68 protection only when the empty cavity around the punctured strip is filled with neutral silicone sealant after closing the clamp.
Q: How do I choose between 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm versions?
A:Base your selection on the internal bare PCB width of the LED strip, not the external silicone sleeve. An 8mm PCB has an outer width around 10mm, 10mm PCB measures around 12mm, and 12mm PCB measures around 14mm.
Q: Does this 3-pin connector work on COB LED strip lights?
A:No, this connector is calibrated specifically for SMD LED strip lights with discrete solder pads and will not seat properly on continuous COB tapes.
