Things about the LED strip connector that you need to know

Led strip connector provides a solution for quick connection of lamps and lanterns. There is no need to weld and can realize docking quickly.

What is an LED strip connector?

The LED strip connector is connected to the LED strip lamp without welding, which is the unique design of the led strip connector. They work by connecting the LED strip to the connector, and the connector connects the power to form a closed circuit with the LED strip.

Before connectors were made, we all thought that welding was the most reliable way of electrical connection. Of course, this type of connection has its own advantages and disadvantages. As we all know, not everyone is able to master welding. Besides, the welding spot of the LED light bar is very small. When welding the light bar cab is easily damaged, and timely replacement is not possible. Therefore, the application of a light bar connector can solve the above problems well.

Compared with welding, the use of LED strip connectors has many advantages, which are shown below.

Features of LED strip connector.

Convenient and fast

In today's pursuit of efficiency, we can not always weld alone, or several people in the team weld at the same time, which is not conducive to our fast and efficient completion of tasks. As long as we can complete the work on time, we can usually reduce the equipment as much as possible. Compared to welding, the LED strip connector is easier to transport and allows multiple people to work at the same time, allowing tasks to be completed quickly and efficiently.

Replacement and maintenance

The LED strip may be defective due to poor heat dissipation, defective resistor, bad LED strip chip, and other reasons. In this case, the LED light strip needs to be replaced. If the LED strip is connected via a connector, the components to be replaced can be easily replaced by opening the connector and inserting the new LED strip. However, if it is welded, an experienced electrician must be sent to replace and re-weld it, which is tedious and time-consuming.

Time to learn

If you are not a professional electrician, it is not so easy to learn how to weld. However, using the LED strip connector is very simple. You do not need to learn and worry about making mistakes. You can easily disconnect and repair the connector and replace the parts that need to be replaced.

Cost saving

The price of LED strip connectors in the market is very low, and they are easy to obtain and install. The cost of welding is higher than buying connectors because it requires professional electricians and longer working hours. Solving all these problems costs money.

Types of LED strip connectors.

In this article, we mainly introduce a LED strip DC connector.

We have an M11 DC quick connector, M13 DC quick lock connector, M13 DC waterproof connector, and an M14 DC waterproof connector.

For the M11 led strip connector, is quick to connect and needs no nuts, only 2 pins. Its voltage is 60V, the current is 5A, mechanical life is 500 mating cycles, operating rating is -20℃ ~ + 80℃, not waterproof type. This LED strip connector is suitable for wire size ≤0.75 mm², cable OD range is 3.5 mm to 5.5 mm. With this wire size, it is suitable for most LED strip lights. The cable length will be adjusted according to your requirement.

As for the metal size, we have 5.5 mm*2.1 mm, 5.5 mm*2.5 mm, and 3.5 mm*1.35 mm to choose from, of which the 3.5*1.35 mm DC head can make the 90-degree angle DC cable connection. However, not all power supplies of this type use 5.5 mm * 2.1 mm, 5.5 mm * 2.5 mm, and 3.5 mm * 1.35 mm hollow connectors. Please check the size of the connector before you buy.

Our DC-led strip connectors are of high quality with competitive prices in led strip connectors, black, white, and transparent colors to choose from. Male to female type, it is safe and easy to install, any length of cable is available and the terminal process is. Of course, your drawings and samples are warmly welcome, as our professional R&D team can help you customize the items you want.
