LED strip accessories: connectors, caps and silicone glue for professional installation

LED strip accessories are the parts that definitively finish the installation: solderless connectors, silicone end caps and glue. Each one is selected by the 10mm 12mm strip width compatibility and according to whether the run proceeds indoors or remains out in the weather. Accessories for 10 and 12 millimetre strips are not interchangeable with each other.
Solderless connectors for LED strips
The solderless connector holds the strip by means of a clip and establishes direct contact with the copper tracks, so that quick installation with no soldering iron economises iron and flux. The LED strip connector price is the most affordable of the group. On a long strip installation the connector lets you install in sections.
Transparent connector for 10mm SMD strip
The 10mm solderless LED strip connector incorporates a cable and allows a run to be extended or a corner to be resolved. It constitutes a transparent IP20 LED strip connector intended for indoors, whose body remains invisible once installed.
Special connector for COB strip
The universal COB SMD connector proves valid for both technologies, because the transparent COB SMD LED strip connector bites identically the continuous track of the COB and the separate dots of the SMD. As a LED strip splice connector it joins two reels.
Initial and end caps for a sealed finish
The initial cap for a sealed close and the end one obturate the ends of the silicone tube, resisting UV and weather from 55 degrees below zero up to 160. The 10mm 12mm LED strip closing cap covers the two common widths.
Initial cap for the start of the strip
The supply cable goes in through the initial cap. It seals that point definitively.
End cap for sealing and protection
The outdoor LED strip end cap closes the opposite end, whereas the 10mm initial and end LED strip cap is always requested in pairs.
IP65 silicone glue for LED strips
The IP65 LED strip silicone glue is supplied in a 45 gram tube, and the IP65 electronic silicone glue fixes and seals simultaneously. That heat resistant LED glue withstands the working temperature of the strip and provides moisture protection to the strip accessory in bathrooms, kitchens and outdoors. The electronics LED strip glue does not attack the circuit and the LED strip silicone glue replaces the original adhesive. Sealing the ends extends the service life of the LED lighting.
How to choose among LED strip accessories for your strip
Look at three figures: width, technology and IP rating. The accessory depends on the type of strip, because SMD and COB strip types do not share the same cut pitch. The outdoor LED strip accessory needs silicone and caps, and indoors the IP20 connector is enough.
| Accessory | Width | Use |
| Transparent connector | 10 mm | Indoor IP20 |
| Initial cap | 10-12 mm | Outdoor |
| End cap | 10-12 mm | Outdoor |
| Silicone glue | 10-12 mm | IP65 |
Professional installation with no soldering iron
Cut on the mark, open the clip, seat the tracks and close it. The right LED strip installation accessory avoids overheating the circuit unnecessarily. LED strip mounting accessories are requested together with the reel, because the complementary strip kit accessory is practically always missing. A LED strip complement accessory costs less than redoing the run. There is no direct connection to the mains, so the run always sits behind one of the power supplies.
Complete the order with the 24V DC LED strips and the LED aluminium profiles, which protect the strip and carry the heat away.
Frequently asked questions about LED strip accessories
Which connector do I need to splice LED strips without soldering?
The clip connector matching your strip width, 10 or 12 millimetres. With cable if there is a distance and without cable if the runs are continuous.
Are connectors for COB strip different from SMD ones?
This one works for both, because the contacts bite the continuous track and the separate dots alike. What changes is the width, not the technology.
What are the initial and end caps of a LED strip for?
They close both ends of the silicone tube so no water or dust gets in. The initial one lets the cable through and the end one seals completely.
Does silicone glue resist the heat of LED strips?
Yes, it keeps its grip at the working temperature of the strip and stays flexible. That is why it does not crack when the profile expands.
Are 10mm LED strip accessories compatible with 12mm ones?
The caps and the glue cover both widths. The connectors do not, because the clip is sized to the circuit.
