SureLock™ Wire Lead Connectors
SureLock Wire Lead Connectors are used for going around corners or, when cut
in half, to create two power leads (like jumper cables) for bridging gaps and
extending wires.
IMPORTANT: Always use the + / – indicators printed on the tape light to
maintain the same polarity.
To increase the wire length between two LED strips, simply splice in the extra
wire. 18 gauge or heavier wire is generally recommended.
SureLock™ Splice Connectors
SureLock Splice Connectors are used to join two strips, creating a continuous
run of LED lighting.
How to use SureLock Connectors
SureLock Connectors – both the wire lead and splice models – connect to the copper pads on cut sections of LED tape lighting. Connect to only clean copper pads. Do not use connectors on soldered joints.
Always cut LED tape directly in the center of the copper pad, as shown.
However, if your LED tape model has very short copper pads, you may have to
cut to one side or the other of the pads to leave suffi cient copper surface
area so the SureLock connector can make proper contact.
- Carefully peel back a small section of the adhesive tape paper backing – remove only the paper, not the adhesive underneath.
- With the connector in an upright position (logo facing up), carefully insert the LED tape into the channel grooves, as shown at right.
- Use a gentle, side-to-side motion while inserting to make sure the tape light is seated fully inside the connector.
- Once the lighting is seated, push to close and securely lock the pressure pad door. If needed, put the tape and connector upside down on a hard surface and use a fl at head screwdriver to close and lock the door in place.
- Perform an overall power test to ensure that all connections are secure and all LEDs light before fi nal installation.
Follow the same basic instructions when using SureLock Splice Connectors.
