12mm RGBW solderless power connector with 15cm cable (pack of 5)
This connector is used to power up single colour RGBW LED strips without any soldering to be required.
The RGBW LED strip light must be 12mm wide in order to use this connector.
In order to use that with IP rated LED strips, waterproof coating (resin) must be removed from the end of both LED strips. You can use on the top of the connection heat shrinkable tubing to maintain IP rating.
Please ensure connector clips are aligned with the copper contacts of the LED Strip and notice the polarity. If connecting IP rated strips remove any gel coating from copper contacts completely. In some cases might be required to move the LED forward or backwards in order for connector contacts to be aligned properly. Then insert strip in the slot and before closing the connector cover ensure the teeth clamps will hold the circuit board of LED strip in place. If an LED chip is located near by the copper connection contacts of the strip the cover might not be able to close and you may try in such a case to use the other end of your LED strip and install the connector upside down in order to match the polarity.
The maximum power rating for the product with model number HL-CN-RGBW-B12 is 72 watts. The performance of the connector may be influenced by the ambient temperature; in hotter conditions, the connected devices might consume more current, so bear this in mind when utilising it in such environments.
We do suggest using this connector for powering up to 5m of LED strip. To power longer runs a soldered connection is suggested.
