LED strip connector 8 mm single-ended snap-fit with lead 12/24 V

Name: LED strip connector 8 mm single-ended snap-fit with lead 12/24 V
Brand: Lumines

A connector for bringing power to an 8 mm wide LED strip without soldering. One end is a snap-fit PVC housing measuring 12.7 x 15.5 mm that takes the end of the strip; the other is a two-core lead, red and black, about 14.5 cm long. Which strips it fits The connector has two cores, so it only works with single-colour strips — RGB, RGBW and CCT strips, which need three or more conductors, cannot be connected with it. The manufacturer specifies it for 8 mm 3528 and 2835 SMD strips powered at 12 V or 24 V. It must not be used with 230 V strips. Measure your strip before ordering: a 10 mm strip will not go into this housing, and the manufacturer makes a separate version of the connector for it. What the lead is for The lead connects a strip that has no factory-soldered wires to a driver or controller. No soldering iron is needed on the strip side: its copper contact pads slide under the clip, which then snaps shut. The cores have a 0.35 mm² cross-section and stripped ends, so they go straight into the driver's terminals. Around 14.5 cm of lead is enough when the driver sits right at the start of the strip; if it is further away, the connection needs an extra length of wire. The red and black cores make it easier to keep the polarity right — match the + and - markings on the strip to the wire colours when you clip it in. Aluminium profiles and waterproof strips When fitting into an aluminium profile, check that the 12.7 x 15.5 mm housing fits its channel — the manufacturer points this out explicitly. The connector itself is rated IP20, which means it has no protection against water or dust. It can also be used on a waterproof strip, but the silicone coating must first be removed at the joint, and once the connector is on, that point is no longer sealed.Show more
