Connecting RGB Flexible LED Strip to Strip
Butt (Crimp) Connectors


Step #1: Place flex strips end-to-end with wires sticking straight up.

Step #2: Cut off both pairs of wires, leaving 1½” of wire on each strip.

Step #3: Pull smaller wires apart. Then, twist same colors together.

Step #4: Make a connection by inserting a pair of like-colored wires the entire way into the butt connector. With them inserted the whole way, crimp the butt connector with Channel-Lock or Robo-Grip type pliers.

Step #5: Repeat the process (two wires per butt connector) for all of the remaining colored wire pairs.
