Biantie La2-Pin 8mm COB Strip to Wire Connector Unwired Clips Solderless Adapter Terminal Extension Connection for High Density LED Strips Lights 12V 24V (Pack of 10)

Very easy to connect.

Bought these connectors because a different connector caused the lights to flicker, this connector works great. Gets a perfect connection and doesn't cause the lights to flicker.

used them for my auto LED lighting kit and they worked great.

If you knew to buy these you probably had a good idea of how to use them but without instructions the first thing to is figure out orientation. They show pictures of the two folding sections for the wiring and the LED strip but don't make it terribly clear that the folding sections are down toward the backing side of the LED. I would also want to insert the LED fully into the housing but then the spade in the connector wouldn't press into the center of the pad on the LED so I don't really know if I truly connected them the best but they do work. It does need 22 gauge wire as if you drop any smaller it will not bite into those and stay connected.They are working so far and were pretty easy to install.

I installed two different sets of COB LEDs using the 8mm Biantie connectors, and didn't have an issue with ANY of them. SO much better than my previous experience with LightingWill connectors, which always suffered from intermittent connections.One thing - Biantie says that the connectors can be pried open with the proper-sized screwdriver. That's a true statement, but what Biantie DOESN'T mention is that just because you can reopen the connectors DOESN'T mean that the connector can be reused after it has been "unsnapped". The tiny plastic tabs/nubs that lock the connectors in the "closed" position have a tendency to shear off when the connector is pried open, meaning that the connector won't lock "closed" again.

At first they seemed to work well and make a strong connection. Then at 6 months lights started flickering. Then at 9 months lights went out. If I jiggled the connections, I could get them to come back on. I think the teeth stop making contact as the strips expand and contract from environmental changes. Better to use screw type connectors.

UPDATE:One of these started getting intermittent. I tried squeezing it tighter, which didn't really work. I tried reseating the cables and recrimping with it, which didn't work. It just refused to make good contact. I ended up just soldering the wires directly to the LED strip. The other two connectors that I used are working fine, for now.These seem to work pretty well when new, but the real test will be how they are doing in 5+ years. They are easy to use. Just make sure the led power pads line up with the little clamping pins. The pins are semi-destructive to the pads, which is a bit of a downside, except that it ensures a good connection. Also make sure to use the right gauge wire on the other end.The clamps do fairly securely snap into place, so make sure you get it right the first time. They can be unsnapped, but it's easy to damage the locking mechanism. I also would never use these in an installation that moves regularly. It may be possible for these to open up with enough movement over time.

I soldered connecting wires into one side for permanence, and the connection to the light strip side snapped on perfectly.
