HitLights - 12 Pack 8mm Solderless 2 Pin LED Connector, Clear LED Tape Connector with Screwdriver Strip for 12V 24V Single Color LED Light Strips

These are a game changer. Make sure you lightly scrape off with a razor the copper on the led strip as there is a coating on it. These are very small, inconspicuous, and work great. Highly recommend! We use to just buy piles of strips as none of the available connectors worked as well as the factory soldered connection. This is a nice and small screw in block that works perfectly!

Great connectors for wire to LED strip. Slide in screw down. Useful small screwdriver included. Do not work for wire to wire, but there are other connectors for these connections.

Work ok, but I have used them on a couple types of strip lights. The strip lights slide out from the connector screws quite easily. Even when very tight.

These worked fine for me. I happened to already own a set of small screwdrivers so I used one of those. I agree with other reviews that say the included screwdriver might be tough to use. I'm writing this review to give you one hint.... Pushing the 8mm COB light strip into the connector is difficult, as the light strip is sort of spongy and it wants to pop back out. What I found worked REALLY well was to find a nice, square edge that I could push the connector up against and shove the COB light strip into it while I tighten the screws. This allowed me to hold it firmly in place until the screws were tightened. In my case, I was putting the light strips above and below kitchen cabinets, so I used a carving board shoved up against the tile backsplash on my kitchen counter. See photo below.

I am a degreed mechanical engineer with significant manufcturing experience. As many have said, these connectors DO NOT WORK. Specifically, The screws do NOT tighten the connector to the recomended sized Wire. The concept and form factors perfect, However the quality of internal threads and metal clip is totally ineffective. Of the 10 connectors contained in my kit only 2 actually made suffucuent contact. UNACCEPTABLE. The company should improve their QA/QC program or they will fail. DO NOT BUY (I want t0 give this product ZERO stars but you cannot or the review will not show)
