What is Waterproof LED Strip Connector?

A waterproof LED strip connector features a sealed structure design with protection ratings typically of IP65 or IP67. These connectors are specifically designed to be used with waterproof LED strips, making them ideal for outdoor and humid environments.

They ensure reliable operation in wet conditions and can be selected based on the specific environmental requirements of the project. These connectors are essential for maintaining the durability and functionality of LED strips in challenging environments.

Products Details

Our waterproof connectors are available in the following types:

1. Transparent Waterproof Connectors

Designed with a sealed structure, these connectors excel in outdoor applications, offering reliable waterproofing to prevent moisture ingress and ensure the LED strips function properly.

2.Hippo Clip Connectors

This board-to-board connector is designed for connecting two sections of IP65 resin-coated waterproof LED strips with widths of 5mm, 8mm, or 10mm. It is compatible even when the waterproof material is silicone, as there is no need to strip off the silicone coating.

Key Features:

  • Piercing Contact Technology: The pins pierce through the LED strip's FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) to create a secure connection, firmly gripping the FPCB and preventing it from slipping out of the connector.
  • Compatibility: Works seamlessly with LED strips featuring 3M VHB red foam adhesive backing, which is too thick for traditional clip-style connectors.
  • PIN Options: Available in 2PIN, 3PIN, 4PIN, 5PIN, and 6PIN configurations, suitable for:
    • Single-color LED strips
    • Dual-color LED strips
    • RGB LED strips
    • RGBW LED strips
    • 5-in-1 LED strips

Design Advantage:
The transparent cover does not block light from the first SMD on the LED strip, allowing light to pass through with minimal shadowing. This provides truly seamless and continuous linear lighting for a smooth visual effect.

Waterproof Connector Application

Waterproof LED connectors are designed for easy and convenient installation, requiring no complex tools or professional expertise. Unlike traditional soldering methods that demand specialized equipment and technical skills, these connectors offer a simple, solder-free solution.

Advantages:

  • Ease of Use: Anyone can install them without prior experience or advanced tools.
  • Time-Saving: The quick connection process significantly reduces installation time compared to the longer and more complex soldering process.
  • Versatility: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments where waterproofing is essential.

These features make waterproof LED connectors the preferred choice for most users, ensuring efficient and reliable connections for various lighting projects.

 

The Installation

1.HIPPO BUCKLE

Open the transparent cover to a 90-degree angle.

2.ALIGNMENT WIRING

Use pliers or another tool to close the transparent cover securely until it clicks into place on both sides of the base.

3.CONNECT PROPERLY

Insert the LED strip into the end of the connector, ensuring the silicone-coated side is facing upward (no need to remove the silicone).

4.END INSTALLATION

Insert the wire directly into the rail slot, ensuring there is no wire stripping required.

Multiple Connection Options:

These connectors support various connection methods to accommodate different project requirements and configurations.

What are waterproof connectors?

Waterproof connectors are specially designed electrical connectors used in wet or moisture-prone environments. They feature special sealing structures, such as rubber or silicone seals, to effectively prevent water ingress, protecting internal electrical components from damage.

What is an IP67 connector?

An IP67 connector is an electronic connector with a specific protection rating designed to ensure safe and stable electrical connections in harsh environments. It complies with the IP67 protection standard, meaning:

  • Dustproof: Fully protected against dust ingress.
  • Waterproof: Can withstand short-term immersion in water, offering a high level of protection in specific conditions.
