Piercing connector 2 pin for connecting single-color LED strip 8-10mm SMD COB IP65 40x15.1x9.1mm Apeyron 09-175

Piercing connector (article 09-175) is a high-tech solution for the direct connection of single-color LED strip segments with an operating voltage of 12/24 V. This accessory is an efficient replacement for soldering, allowing for the quick and reliable extension of a light line length or the connection of strip sections without using soldering equipment. The model is specifically designed for use with popular SMD and COB diode types on a substrate width of 8–10 mm. A key feature of the 09-175 connector is its full compatibility with protected LED strips. It is successfully used to connect IP65 silicone strips (8 mm), IP65 PVC strips (8 and 10 mm), as well as modern IP67 strips in NANO-coating (8 and 10 mm). This makes it indispensable when installing waterproof lighting, as the connection is made in "one motion" without preliminary stripping of the strip's protective layer. The connector provides a rigid Type I connection (direct butt joint), creating a visually continuous light strip. The 2 pin connector type guarantees stable power transmission. Thanks to its optimal dimensions (width 15.1 mm, height 9.1 mm), the connection node can be placed inside most standard aluminum profiles without obstructing the installation of a protective diffuser. The transparent polycarbonate housing allows light from the diodes located near the joint to pass through, which eliminates the appearance of undesirable dark zones in the finished installation. The method of piercing the conductive tracks of the strip creates a reliable electrical contact, minimizes contact resistance, and prevents excessive heating of components at the connection point. Advantages: - Increased versatility: compatible with a wide range of SMD/COB strips and various types of protective coatings (IP65, IP67); - Solderless and strip-less installation: allows connecting waterproof strips without compromising their protective properties and extra labor; - Compatibility with 12/24 V systems: suitable for most professional interior and facade lighting solutions; - Intuitive installation: does not require special technical skills or complex tools for fixation; - Flawless aesthetics: the transparent housing makes the connector almost invisible under the profile diffuser; - Reusability: the design allows for careful disassembly and reuse of the connector when changing the lighting scheme; - Guaranteed reliability: the piercing mechanism provides a long-lasting contact resistant to vibrations and thermal expansion; - Long service life: the estimated service life is more than 10 years with an official warranty of 36 months.
