Features
Solder-free connectors for use with LED strip tape provide a fast and convenient way of connecting LED strip tapes without having to solder.
The Hippo style of connector can even be used with water resistant IP65 LED tapes. They have specially designed pin contacts that pierce through the IP65 coating.
Available in 5 pin (for RGBW or RGBWW strips) 4 pin (for RGB strips) or 2 pin (for single colour strips). The Hippo solder-less connector comes in a strip to strip version or a strip to wire version. The strip to strip connector connects 2 LED tapes together without leaving a gap. The strip to wire version allows you to add an input or output cable to an LED tape that you've cut.
To install them simply cut your LED tape to the desired length and peel back the self adhesive backing then open the mouth of the Hippo connector. Insert the LED tape into the mouth and close it. The Hippo connector clamps down on the LED tape forming a secure connection. Then you can either connect another LED tape to it or connect a cable with the tape to wire version.
Be sure not to go over the recommended continuous length of the LED tape or volt drop issues will occur. This is usually 10M with 24V tape or 5M with 12V tape but it does vary.

Specifications & Dimensions
Specifications Brand SpecificationsLED Strip Fit Dimensions Located Below Specifications Table IP Rating SpecificationsIP (International or Ingress Protection) defines a products level of resistance to dust and moisture. The first digit is for dust and the second digit is for moisture.
An IP65 rating offers a high resistance to moisture and is popular rating for outdoor lighting and electrical enclosures.
IP65 is usually specified for bathroom downlights but according to the Building Regulations, IP44 provides adequate protection for zones 1 & 2.
Pin Type SpecificationsProduct Type Solder Less Connector Sku HIPPO* Type SpecificationsVoltage SpecificationsAC standards for alternating current and DC standards for direct current.
Mains voltage is 230V AC and has a tolerance of 10%, some products are 220V or 240V AC which means they can be classed as mains voltage.
DC voltages usually require an LED driver to convert the mains voltage AC into low voltage DC. Popular DC voltages are 12V or 24V DC.
