Connection Types
Strip to Wire
It comes without wire. One end connects to led strip while the other end connects to cable.
Strip to Power
It comes with wire. One end connects led strip while the other end connects to power supply.
Strip to Other Adapter
It is a convertor, one end is equiped with strip connector another end comes with other connector like DC, USB, SM and Mini plugs, etc. Click below link to see our supplys. https://www.onlumi.com/led-light-strip-connector/led-strip-to-other-connectors/
Strip to Strip Bridge(Jumper)
It comes with 2 connectors and 1 wire in between in order to conduct current from one strip to another stirp light
Strip to Strip Joint
It comes without wire and both ends connect to tape lights as a middle splicer
Corner Connection
There are 3 shape types, L shape, T shape and Cross Shape (+). They are designed to connect strip lights at corner
Wire Gauge or Cross Sectional Area
Both are the name to describle the thickness of wire conductors coming with led strip connector. The units is AWG or mm² More informations pls refer to below links https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gaugehttps://www.edn.com/the-cross-sectional-area-of-wire/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_gauge
Inner Width / PCB Width
The width of strip light that connectors are designed to connect. It ranges from 5mm to 12mm mostly.
Pin Quantity
Quantity of conductor used to contact soldering pad. The quantity is determined by the light colors to be controled. Each colors needs 1 separated channel, and each channel need 1 pins to connect. At final a common channels are required in order to make circuit.
Pin Distance and Solder Pad Distance
Distance between 2 pins closed to each other. This will determined if the postion match between conductor and soldering pad
Pierece to Contact
Also called as Insulation Displacement Contact (IDC), It is a way of contact that connector's conductor penetrate insulation of cable or PCB in order to make connection.
Refer to below links for more information https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulation-displacement_connector
Surface Contact
It is a way of contact that connector's conductor touch solder pad or exposed wire core in order to make connection. This is a well known way.
Wire End & Strip End
A strip to wire connector has 2 ends for connection. One end is made to connect wire and another end is made to connect strip light.
Waterproof Method
This is about how led strip is protected. Normally there are
- non-waterproof IP20
- glue coating waterproof IP65
- hollow tube waterproof IP67
- solid tube waterproof IP68
