Review on EHoduolo 22 Pack 5050 4 Pin 10mm LED Strip Connector Kit: Enhance Your DIY Lighting Project with RGB Extension Cable, L Shape Connectors, Gapless Connector, and Male Connectors by Shannon Taylor

The concept of these connectors is reasonable. You should slide off, clip on and be done. Unfortunately, this is not the case in reality. I bought several sets of waterproof LED strips, these are the silicone coated ones. I love her! The wire side of these connectors work fine. It may take an attempt or two to line up the wires to splice properly, but it can be done and they make a good connection. The other side of splicing is a problem. The plastic base of the LED strip as well as the copper strips are so thin that when you pierce the spikes in the connector there is not enough material to make proper contact. I finally got them working, but if they crash anyway, they will fail. No matter what type of LED strip you bought, if you want to safely and permanently wire your LED strips, I recommend using spade terminals. that come with the kit. Although they are designed to connect the strip to the strip, if you cut the silicone cover and adhesive backing off the LED strip you can slide the thin material under the metal tabs and cover that side. Open the other side and solder the wires to the metal leaves. I know. However, if you use a lot of flux, apply a small amount of solder to each wire to prevent fraying. Then solder the wires to the corresponding tabs on the other side of the connector.
