PRODUCT DETAILS:

These 8mm 2 Pin Solderless Transparent Terminal Block LED Light Strip Connectors provide a frustration-free way to connect or extend single-color LED strip runs. A screw-terminal, snap-close design makes it easy to clamp both the strip and supply wiring securely, so installers can complete neat, reliable joins without soldering.

Built for standard 8mm single-color LED tape and COB strip lights, the connectors support 5–24V DC systems and up to 6 amps of current, covering most residential and light commercial applications. The transparent housing allows quick visual inspection of the copper pads and terminals, helping reduce troubleshooting time and keeping projects on schedule.

Constructed from impact-resistant polycarbonate with copper conductors and UL94V-0 flame-retardant performance, these connectors are designed for dependable indoor use. With strip-to-strip and strip-to-wire variants available, they simplify new installs, repairs, and retrofits across cabinets, shelving, coves, displays, and more.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: What size LED strip lights work with these 2-pin connectors?
A: These connectors are designed for standard 8mm wide single-color LED or COB strip lights. They fit most common 5–24V single-color tape and COB strips used for under-cabinet, cove, display, and accent lighting, as long as the strip is 8mm wide.

Q: How much current can each connector safely handle?
A: Each connector is rated for up to 6 amps of current at 5–24V DC. This capacity covers most typical single-color LED strip and COB lighting runs; just ensure the total load on the connected strip length stays within both the strip and connector ratings.

Q: Do I need to solder or buy special tools to use these connectors?
A: No soldering is required. Installation involves inserting the LED strip and wire into the terminal block and tightening the screws with the included mini screwdriver, creating a secure electrical connection without extra tools or soldering skills.

Q: What wire gauge works best with the strip-to-wire version?
A: 18–20 AWG stranded wire is recommended for use with the screw terminals. This range provides a good balance of flexibility and conductor size, helping the terminal block grip the wire firmly while maintaining low resistance for reliable power delivery.

Q: Can these connectors be used outdoors or in damp locations?
A: No. With an IP20 rating, these connectors are intended for indoor, dry-location use only. They should not be installed where they can be exposed to moisture, rain, or condensation; pair them with appropriate enclosures if added protection is required.

Q: Is it possible to cut the LED strip and reuse the connector on the new section?
A: Yes, the connectors are reusable. The LED strip can be trimmed on its marked cut lines, and the same connector can be opened and reattached to the new section, provided the copper pads are clean, aligned, and fully seated under the terminals before tightening.

Q: Is it normal for the connectors to feel warm during operation?
A: A slight warmth is normal when the connectors are operating within their 6A, 5–24V DC rating. As long as current and voltage limits are not exceeded and there are no signs of discoloration or damage, mild temperature rise is expected and not a safety concern.

Q: What warranty coverage do these connectors include?
A: The 8mm 2-pin terminal block connectors are backed by a 1-year warranty. This coverage provides peace of mind for typical residential and light commercial use when installed and operated within the published electrical and environmental specifications.

Simplifies the LED tape light installation

These connectors make reliable LED tape light connections and simplify the tape light installation process. If you are installing gel coated tapes, be sure to gently scrape the tape contacts untill they shine. Otherwise, the gel residue acts as an insulator. - (Hitlights Amazon Store)

Quick fix

Works perfect. Was going to buy new led lights when the contractor came loose. Took 2 minutes to attach and works great - (Hitlights Amazon Store)

Great Item

Love these, the best I’ve found to join two cob strip lights.

Useless

These will not secure the wire. Even slight pressure will pull the wire loose. Basically useless

Great Connectors!

These connectors are very well made. The screw mechanism also feels solid when you attach the wires or the light strips.

The screw driver is a little on the cheap side, but since that is not part of the connectors I am still rating the connector 5 stars; I just use my own screwdriver.

The thing I cannot figure out is what the little adhesive stickers are for. I THOUGHT they were to attach the connector, but the stickers only have adhesive on one side, that is, they are not double sided adhesive. See photo.
If you peel the sticker that says "3M" off it is sticky on one side. Once you peel the "3M" sticker off one side underneath there is a white slick paper (no adhesive). You flip that over and the other side is brown and say "3M". You peel that off it is also sticky on one side and you are left with the OTHER side of the white slick paper (no adhesive on this side either). So what you have is a total of three pieces once you have finished peeling everything off. Two pieces that say "3M" and are sticky on side, and one piece that is white and slick paper with no sticky on either side.

None of these items are double sided adhesive, so if someone can tell me what they are for I would appreciate it.

Great experience love the product.
