WENHSIN 10Packs 4-Pin RGB LED Light Strip Connectors 10mm Unwired Gapless Solderless Adapter Terminal Extension

Worked with the led lights I got. Easy to use. Mine are hidden but you don't notice any change in the lights for the transition.

I have a Kasa led light strip and part of the light strip did not light up. I cut out the part of the light strip that didn't work and used this connector to connect my light strip back together and the light strip now lights all the way up.

Hard to open! When I can do it without destroying one I'm sure they'll work great!

These actually work. The little guitar pick is useless, snapped immediately. Very carefully use a box cutter to pop the connector open. slide the box cutter under the 4 connectors to lift them ever so slightly so you can slide the LED strip into them without damaging the LED strip, and then use the back side of the blade to firmly (but gently) press the metal connectors down again. Close the clip. (I had to use a small set of pliers) it takes a couple of minutes. Clean and neat. Good solid connection. I will but this brand again.

TLDR: just take the extra step and solder the connectors together. This product has quality control issues. This product is nothing more than a quality of life product meaning it simply makes something easier. I create custom LED Lights and often have of pieces strips laying around that I use for another project. Normally I would solder the ends together where I need to combine two strip pieces together and everything was fine, life was good. One day while surfing the interwebs and specifically Amazon, I stumbled upon these things and thought it would be a huge time saver! I was wrong! The issue is with quality control of this product. Within the plastic snap casing (they can be hard to unsnap/open) there are 4 metal connectors, one for 12v (power), one for R, one for G, and one for B. The connectors are responsible for not only issuing power to each strip, but also controlling the color. The issue with quality is these connectors are not always aligned properly. Some of them are crooked/installed on an angle so they don't touch the pad enough to actually draw power. Additionally, some of them do not sufficiently apply pressure to the LED connector pads for the power to relay to the next strip. This will cause either no power to the next strip in the line, or colors that won't work. I've attached pictures to illustrate how this impacts the end product. In my pictures red is working fine but green is not. I am giving this 3 starts because I didn't have any issues on one project but on a 2nd project I fought with these connectors. There will not be a 3rd project as I am reverting back to soldering. In my pictures I installed the LED and tested each color as I installed. However, when I actually installed the LED and hot glued down, the issue manifested itself after I realized what was going on. Needless to say, I had to remove a bunch of LEDs in a otherwise finished product.

I read a lot of the mixed reviews nervously trying to prepare myself for the battle with these connectors, but honestly I just popped the connectors open and slowly yet forcefully slid the strips into place on both sides until the copper part reached the pin and it worked great. One of the strips has a gel over it so I used the connector to kind of cut that gel off while getting the pin to connect to the flat part. Maybe the Govee lights that I’m using are just a really good fit for these connectors because it was a simple two minute process. It is a tight fit so I did leave the backing on the two strips so that it wouldn’t be sticky and difficult to move the strips forward onto the pins. My only mistake was not cutting some of the backing off before putting them in because once I had them positioned, connected and closed - I started picking at back of the strips to get the tape exposed which seemed to started pulling one of the strips off the pins. I kept the lights on so that I could see how they were responding to my movements and the strip being connected kept flickering as I was trying to pick at the backing. So I reopened the connector, cut some of the backing off and then repositioned the light strip back on the pins. That was honestly my fault for not thinking ahead and cutting some of the backing beforehand. I guess the main takeaway there is that they probably aren’t going to stay perfectly positioned in the connector if you’re fiddling with the strip which could cause the lights to disconnect. I stuck it to my desk as soon as I got the backing off and it works beautifully.

Simple? yes. Easy? No. You will need patience and a delicate hand in some cases to make this work. If you are working with exposed contact standard LED strip lights, you will find these pretty straight forward and easy to use. The only tweak you may need is a little lift of the contact pressure points in the adapter to lift them above the strip you are inserting. The real challenge comes in using the adapter with waterproof strip lights. For this, you will need a very sharp knife - I used a scalpel blade to cut through the epoxy just to the plastic strip, and then used the scalpel to peel back the few milometers of goop to expose the contacts properly. I then used the scalpel to scrape the adhesive from the back of the LED strip to thin it out. Once both were complete, it was just like a standard strip for the adapter. The good news is if you screw up your only penalty is you have to cut a few more inches of strip back and then try again. All in all, a little pricey for what it is, but it's the only simple solderless solution I found. And now I have a bunch extra - as will you!

Depending on the one you have it works perfectly fine. Or it doesn’t work that well. But there very easy to use.

La semplicità di utilizzo.

Sehr gutes Produkt kann ich nur empfehlen.

Very simple to use, I didn't have any issues popping the clasps open. Took me about 30 seconds to extend my strip light for the extra 2 feet needed. I just scraped about 4mm of the real adhesive away from the strip light so the 4 copper contacts slip under the 4 prongs easily. Nice secure fit, very discreetly extends the lights. Bonus is I have 9 other clips so used one of the others to put together the second set of strip lights I had to purchase for the extra 2 feet. No issues whatsoever, if you're extending strip lights, make sure they are the same brand. I used Tp link (Tapo) smart wifi lights

Works really well on connecting led strips, just make sure it is 4 connections. I used it to connect leds for underneath home theater recliners.
