🔌 QIJIE LED Strip Connector Terminal 3 Pin 10mm IP20 Non-Waterproof, Ideal for Dimmable, Dual Color, WS2812, WS2811 Digital Tape Light, Connect Strip to 22~20 Gauge Extension Wire, Pack of 10 Review

These parts are VERY difficult to put around the band and don't close easily - the retaining clips aren't big enough to 'catch'. They work well if you can ever close them over the strip.

Absolute rubbish. They almost don't pierce the cable housing and don't have a reliable connection with the LED strip connectors. Better buy a soldering iron and learn how to do it right like I did.

Like. Makes repairing my moldings easier. Soldering is such a burden when you just want to fix the connection. But in my opinion it lasts longer because there is no solder to peel off from degradation. I suggest this for DIYers. Or those who, like me, enjoy teaching construction.

I found this very handy, especially with this vendor's strip to tape connectors. No more cumbersome soldering and gluing of cable holders. However, I should note (as it clearly states in the description) - keep this wire at or below 20-22; Most if not all of my connecting wires are 26 or higher. This connects, but definitely not reliably or securely.

Some reviews must have overlooked the fact that you need pliers to close it. I also found that the instructions that you can use silicone coated strips are wrong and you have to remove about a quarter inch of the strip you are connecting it to. Make sure it's fully inserted on both sides, which you should feel as it goes through the spikes, or see through the top. Be gentle and maybe sacrifice one to learn, but with a little time they become a super clean, fairly quick, no-solder solution.

I tried them with a very average 22AWG cable - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CKNPJ/ref=cm_sGFw_em_r_mt_dp_71NFM39PSE41YHTBY2S4?_encoding=1 pack uses these and JEDEN Connector could not cut the wire. Instead, the wire cutters were so weak that they flexed back, down, and forward. other than by wire. The pins on the end of the LED strip matched up correctly, but the end of the wire was unusable. I sent all the parts back, throwing the rest away.

DO NOT BUY! You are garbage! There is nothing on this connector to prevent the tape from being inserted too far or not far enough. Wires are just as difficult to insert. There are no actual instructions, so good luck putting them back in place and snapping the latch. I see no other way to test this than turn on the strip and hope for the best. I burned part of my lane because it shorted out something. I couldn't tell what was shorted. I ended up soldering all of my connections (10), which took…

I had very high hopes for it because I really don't like inhaling solder fumes. And for big projects, that's not great. When I first used them, about 18 pack, using 22 gauge stranded wire, I found: 1. All connections were strong and secure on the first try :) 2. The strip side was easy to splice. You need pliers for both sides.3. The wires side was a lot trickier, trying to get the 3 small wires to line up exactly in the right position inside the device was tricky. There's not much to keep the…
