Find the right connector. Without the guesswork.
Connecting two LED strips? Turning a corner? Extending wire? Start with what you need to connect, then check the size before buying.
Quick rule: A connector that looks right might not fit. Match the connection type, strip width, contact layout, and electrical rating.
01 / Start here
What are you connecting?
Choose the connection that matches your project. You don't need to know the connector's product name yet.
02 / Check compatibility
Three things to know before checkout.
The same connector style can come in different sizes. These simple checks help prevent buying a part that cannot fit.
01 / WIDTH
8mm or 10mm?
Measure the width of the LED strip's circuit board, not the width of a silicone sleeve or mounting channel.
8mm
10mm
02 / CONTACTS
2-pin, 3-pin, or 4-pin?
The connectors shown below are intended for matching two-conductor connections. Don't use them for incompatible RGB, RGBW, or addressable strip layouts.
03 / RATINGS
Wire, voltage & location
Check the connector's supported wire gauge, voltage/current rating, and environment. Strip width alone does not prove compatibility.
Working with 14 AWG or household wiring? Do not assume a small LED connector will accept it. The EMITEVER wire-to-wire connector listed below specifies 18–22 AWG, not 14 AWG. These low-voltage accessories are not substitutes for properly rated line-voltage wiring connections.
03 / Find the product
Browse by what the connector does.
We've organized the current connectors by their job instead of their original long product titles. Confirm the exact variation on the product page before ordering.
Join two strips directly
Use when two compatible LED strips meet end to end without a separate wire.
8mm / Screw-down
Screw-down straight connector
A screw-secured connection option for compatible 8mm strips. This listing also offers a different extension style.
2-pin · Select the correct style and pack
Choose style on product page →Make a 90° corner
For compatible strips that need to change direction.
8mm or 10mm / 2-pin
L-shaped corner connectors
Pick the exact strip width and fastening method. These are three different variants in the same product family.
12-pack · Indoor · Non-waterproof strip connections
A 10mm snap-on variation also exists; check the full product page for current availability. Ratings and compatibility must be confirmed from the selected variant's product information.
Bridge a gap between LED strips
Run a flexible connection across a space you do not want illuminated.
8mm / Flexible bridge
Strip-to-strip extension lead
Connects two compatible strips with a wire section between them. Useful for offsets, corners, or gaps.
47-inch lead · 3-pack · Indoor
View extension →Prefer a screw-down connection?
The separate 8mm screw-down product family also includes a strip extension option. Check its style selection and pack quantity carefully; it is not the same item as the 47-inch snap-on extension above.
Compare screw-down styles →Join two low-voltage wires
This is a wire-to-wire connection, not an LED strip clip.
18–22 AWG / Low-voltage
2-conductor wire-to-wire connector
Joins compatible low-voltage wire runs. It does not clip directly onto an LED strip circuit board.
18, 20, or 22 AWG · 6-pack · Indoor
Not for 14 AWG wire. Verify the voltage/current rating and conductor type before selecting.
View wire connector →Connect an LED strip to loose wire
Check the strip termination and wire size before selecting a connector.
No verified direct-fit option for existing 14 AWG wiring
Our strip-to-strip jumpers have LED strip clips on both ends; the product sometimes called a “wire lead connector” is a short jumper, not a verified 14 AWG wire termination. Do not use a wire-to-wire connector as a substitute for a strip-to-wire termination without a verified compatible method.
Ask about strip-to-wire compatibility →04 / Finish the installation
A good connection still needs a good installation.
Once the connector is selected, plan how the wiring and strip will be supported and protected.
Support the wire
Route and secure wiring so pulling or bending does not put stress on a connector or the LED strip pads.
Protect the joint
A waterproof strip does not make an unsealed connector waterproof. Verify the complete assembly for the installation location.
Mount and test
Check electrical operation and polarity before final mounting. Choose suitable tape, channels, or supports for the surface.
05 / Before installation
Still comparing two similar connectors?
These quick answers cover the most common reasons a connector that looks correct may not work.
What's the difference between 8mm and 10mm?
These refer to the supported LED strip board width. A 10mm connector is not automatically compatible with an 8mm strip, or vice versa. Measure the board and check the specific product's fit.
Can I use a 2-pin connector on RGB or tunable-white strips?
Not by default. Confirm the number and function of the electrical contacts. Many RGB, RGBW, tunable-white, and addressable strips require different connector arrangements.
Does “COB compatible” mean every COB strip will fit?
No. COB and SMD describe LED construction, not a universal connector size. PCB width, pad positioning, strip thickness, coating, and connector contact design still matter.
Can I connect existing 14 AWG wire?
Not with the EMITEVER wire-to-wire connector on this page, which specifies 18–22 AWG. Verify your wiring voltage, connector terminals, conductor type, and applicable electrical requirements before choosing another method. Do not use low-voltage accessories on household line voltage.
Can I use these connectors outdoors or with waterproof strips?
Do not assume so. The featured connector products are described for indoor applications, and a strip's IP rating does not transfer to a connector or exposed joint. Confirm protection for the entire installed connection.
What if my strip is 48V?
Check the exact product's verified electrical specifications before buying. Do not infer 48V compatibility from an 8mm or 10mm width match or from a general product title.
