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)

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.

Great to use easy quick

My daughter was so excited to put up her LED lights in her room, but these connectors are the worst! We tried multiple times, cutting more and more strips, until we finally got one connector to work. Then after trying to get a 2nd connector on for over an hour, we gave up. We could get the lights to flicker, or be a different color, but never quite work right. Also the clasp is super hard to open/close-- I had to use a small screwdriver to open the clasp. Would be fine if it worked and I only had to clasp it once, but since I've been opening and closing it multiple times in attempt to get it to work, then it's not fine. Ugh! My daughter is super sad now :(

I bought these for my govee lights. I am not very technologically inclined or mechanically inclined. They are super are to open, and they didn’t work how they were supposed to, unless I was doing it wrong. I ending up having to put both strips on one side on top of each other with metal pieces touching.

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 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.

Awesome, helped out a lot

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.
