Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ HKBAYI 50 Pair / 50 Sets 3-pin JST SM Male Female Plug LED Connector Cable for WS2812B WS2812 WS2811 LED Strip Lamp with 15cm Wire Length by Jesus Cordova

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I do not recommend. Poor quality high resistance wire.

It wasn't until I soldered these connectors to dozens of prototype panels that I realized how poor the quality was. When connecting the panels in a chain, the voltage drop was also unacceptable on the 2nd panel. Finally, I set up a test setup to measure resistance across a pair of connectors. The average resistance was about 400 mฮฉ. It's huge. The maximum contact resistance for JST-SM connectors should be around 20mฮฉ, and the resistance for 1 foot or 22 AWG wires should be around 17mฮฉ. I cut a connector off one end of the wire and measured the resistance of a 6" strip of wire. I was stunned to find it was almost 200mฮฉ. I ended up just buying a cheap set of crimping tools and connectors and using my 22AWG -Stranded jumper wire. The results were day and night. My own crimp connectors had a resistance of about 32mฮฉ. Now I have 40 pairs of useless cables that will probably just end up in the trash. I would definitely not recommend these connectors. If you Using 5V LEDs, the voltage drop on just one terminal is a problem.And that's not even to mention that you'll draw quite a bit of current just heating up these leads.TL;DR - These leads are cheap wire Made with high resistance Use at your own risk.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
