4 Pin Solderless Waterproof LED Strip Connector - RGB Flex Ribbon Rope Tape Light Gapless Adapter for 10mm Wide Waterproof SMD 5050 RGB Flexible Strip Light (10pcs)

Simple, easy, and not super hard to connect LED light strips with these!

I bought these connectors for my waterproof RGB 5050 LED strip that is 10mm in width. They have successfully connected several pieces of my LED strips that had been cut off. I have summarized the installation steps and precautions for other shoppers' reference. Installation steps: 1.Carefully cut off the LED stip along the cutting line, so that the area of the 4 copper contacts on each LED strip is the same. 2.Remove the tape on the backside of the LED strip around the area of the 4 copper contacts, to expose the 4 copper contacts. 3.Close the LED strip in the connector, make sure to match the + electrode on the LED strip to the + electrode on the connector, make sure the 4 pins in the connectors totally penetrate the 4 copper contacts on the LED strip. Precautions: When installing these connectors to waterproof RGB 5050 LED strip, the most important thing is that the 4 pins in the connectors should be connected well with the 4 copper contacts on the LED strip. To get the 4 pins in the connectors and the 4 copper contacts on the LED strip connected well, when you cut your LED strip into 2 LED strips, you should cut very carefully along the cutting line, to make sure the area of the copper contacts on the 2 LED strips are the same (not a bigger area of copper contacts on one LED strip, and a smaller area on the other LED strip). If the area of the copper contacts on the LED strip is too small, the 4 pins in the connectors can not totally penetrate the 4 copper contacts, and there will be poor electrical conductivity. As a result, you may get 2 different colors or even get no colors at all.

This product was absolutely awful to use it took me like 30 minutes to even open one and when I tried to install it IT DIDNT EVEN WORK!! And I can’t even try to open it again to see if i made a mistake become IT WONT OPEN this product absolutely sucks. Do not buy it I am very disappointed and can’t believe I spent my money on this. So now I have a whole 16 strip of led lights I can’t even use ever because this product ruined it. Thanks Alot.

I like these things a lot and they solve a very practical problem when the LED strings break but they are hit or miss when using them.. not really the fault of the design but just the way the pins line up.. You can to line up both ends of the LED strips and then these pins will push through the silicon and make the connection. When that happens, AWESOME.. Very tight fit and really snug. When it doesn't, you are back to try, try try again.. until you either rip up the LED strip and have to snip it back to another usable part or have to try a different clip because you bent the pins in frustration. Again - Probably not the fault of the design but be aware that these are not 100% all the time. And you REALLY don't want to be messing with these at the top of a ladder trying to repair a strand up on the roof. I was easily able to get these to work while sitting at my desk with magnification and a steady hand. On the ladder - not so much.

I chose to use waterproof RGB5050LED strip,because I feel the light of waterproof RGB LED strip is much softer than that of non-waterproof RGB LED strip.I cut off the my waterproof RGB5050LED strip to meet my demands in use.And,these connectors are a perfect solution for my project.Note:When you cut off your LED strip into2LED strips,you should cut very carefully along the cutting line,to make sure the area of the copper contacts on both sides of the LED strips are equal.If the area of the copper contacts on the LED strip is too small,the4pins in the connectors cannot totally penetrate the4copper contacts on the LED strip,and as a result,there will be poor electrical conductivity,and you may get2different colors or even get no colors at all.So,you need to take care when cutting off your LED strips.Also,these connectors can only work for WATERPROOF RGB5050LED strips that is 10mm in width.Not for other types of LED strips.

These connectors are very difficult to use, and even after initial success, the connections does not stay good after some small adjustments to the LED strip. Had more difficulties with this product, and thanks toe Amazon return policy which worked well, happy to get my money back.

I have cut off my waterproof RGB 5050 LED light strip into pieces in the previous use. My wife suggests that we use up the rest pieces to avoid waste. So, we installed the rest pieces of the LED strips on the backside of our door. These connectors work so well on the rest pieces of our waterproof RGB 5050 LED light strip. I recommend these connectors. Before buying, please note that these connectors are only suitable for waterproof RGB 5050 LED strips. They are not suitable for non-waterproof RGB 5050 LED strips, nor are they suitable for RGB 3528 LED strips.

One strip of my grandson's LED light strip failed. So plugged it in and if the string was held "just right" it would light. A little fiddling and close visual inspection determined there was a very very small break in one of the very thin copper strips, So, carefully cut the strip as indicated and clamp on the connector as directed. Nothing!! Took if off and put it back on - Nothing. Hmmm? Took if off, turned the connector over so prongs come in from the other side and Let There Be Light. It does make a difference.
