These connectors are great. They make installation super easy.

The solderless connector comes with a pigtail about 4" long. It makes for easy connection to the LED flex strip. The connector itself requires a little care to open and then close after mounting on the strip but I managed even with my large fingers. The company recommends simply twisting the leads of the pigtail to the next connection but I found the wire gauge a bit small to rely on just a twist connection so I soldered the pigtail leads to the next part of the connection chain, the leads of the so-called DC Female Coaxial connector. I won't say that soldering is required but I felt more secure with such a connection.

Short tutorial: (photo tutorial below)
- Cut along the mark line, tear a little bit 3M backing tape from the mark. If 3M tape is not peeled off a little, it will not be easy to insert the strip into the connector.
- Pull the black plastic lock out from the LED solderless connector.
- Insert strip into the LED solderless connector. There are two sides to the connecting tray. Make sure the wider of the white sides faces up. This is the top.
- Make sure the soldering pads fully touch the conjunction metal.
- Do not use to much strength while pulling the plastic lock, otherwise it can destroy the LED solderless connector.
- Push the plastic lock back towards the middle in the lock position. Be gentle and make sure the mounting tray is securely closed or the lights will not light up.
If your lights do not light up
- Color does not always matter! Make sure you are follow the positive side of the flex strip down through the solderless connector wire to the power supply. Red/black can either mean (+) or (-) depending on what side of the LED flex strip you have hooked the connector up to.
- Another common problem is that the LED solderless connector may be installed upside down, repeat steps above and try again.
- Also, MAKE SURE the tray is closed all the way. Be gentle!
- Check your power supply and make sure it is hooked up correctly and correct + and - too.
