TronicsPros Solderless Waterproof Connector Flexible Review

It makes sense to remove the adhesive from the back of the light strip. These connectors are designed to work with waterproof RGB 5050 LED strips. Therefore, when using these connectors, do not remove the silicone covering the light strip. After cutting the lightstrip along the cut line, remove the adhesive from the back of the lightstrip around the cut line to reveal the 4 copper pins on the back of the lightstrip. It is helpful to ensure that the 4 pins in the connectors go through the 4…

I finally got it working after an hour of fiddling. They work, and they work well, but without instructions, so I had to play around with them a bit before figuring it all out. I realized that all the reviews on the web saying they worked great were used with waterproof strips. I had regular fixtures for my daughter's bedroom. I find that the waterproof strips are thicker due to the silicone coating. I think the plugs don't work properly on regular strips because they are too thin and when you…

I chose the waterproof RGB5050LED strip because I think the waterproof RGB LED strip is much softer than the non-waterproof RGB LED strip. I cut my RGB5050LED waterproof strip to meet my usage needs. And these connectors are the perfect solution for my project. Note. When you cut the LED strip into 2 LED strips, you need to cut very carefully along the cutting line to make sure the area of the copper pins is the same on both sides of the LED strips. If the area of the copper pins on the LED…

I chose the waterproof RGB5050LED strip because I find the waterproof RGB LED strip much softer than the non-waterproof RGB LED strip. I cut my RGB5050LED waterproof strip to fit my usage needs. And these connectors are the perfect solution for my project. Make sure the area of the copper pins is the same on both sides of the LED strip. If the area of the copper pins on the LED strip is too small, the 4 pins in the connectors cannot fully penetrate the 4 copper pins on the LED strip, and as a…

I finally got them working. But not the way they are made. They didn't connect at first and I believe that's due to the poor/cheap design of the pins, which are like little sharpened knives that poke up from the bottom of the lightstrip to make the connection. I've tried several times. sometimes even cut the strip to get a new connection. Multiple failures. So I found that the pins just don't get good contact when pierced from the bottom up. I've tried two fixes, both of which work. First…

I bought these connectors for my waterproof 10mm wide RGB 5050 LED strip. You have successfully connected several pieces of my cut LED strips. I have summarized the installation steps and precautions for reference for other buyers. Installation steps: 1. Carefully cut the LED strip along the cutting line so that the area of 4 copper pins on each LED strip is equal. 2. Peel off the tape on the back of the LED strip around the 4 copper pin area to reveal the 4 copper pins. 3. Short the LED strip…
