Connecting single color Flexible LED Strip to 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 #5: Insert strip into connector opening, being careful to match the positive (+) and negative (-) marks on both strips. The bottom of the flex strip should be touching the black piece. Insert as far as possible.

Step #6: Push the black piece back in, locking the flex strip in place. Repeat process for the other side.
