Attaching Wires to RGB Flexible LED Strip
Splice Connector


Step #1: Remove about a ¼” of the waterproof coating from the end of the strip. You may use your fingernail (if you use a knife be very careful not to cut through the circuit board).

Step #2: For best results, clean the contacts with fine sandpaper or a wire brush. Also, trim 1/16” off the end of the circuit board so that the connector will make better contact with the pads.

Step #4: Insert RGB strip into connector opening, being careful to match wire color with color labels on the flex strip. The bottom of the flex strip should be touching the black piece. Insert as far as possible.
