Connectors, Cables & Mounting Accessories
The right connectors and mounting hardware make the difference between a clean, reliable installation and a frustrating mess of loose wires. We stock every connector type used in addressable LED pixel projects, plus aluminum extrusion channels, diffusers, and mounting clips for professional finishes.
Connectors
- 3-pin JST-SM: Standard WS2812B strip connector — data + 5V + GND. Male and female pigtails with 15cm leads.
- 4-pin JST-SM: For RGBW strips (SK6812) — data + 5V + GND + white channel.
- Solderless snap connectors: Clip onto cut strip ends — no soldering required. Available for 10mm and 12mm strip widths.
- Waterproof 3-pin: IP67-rated screw-lock connectors for outdoor installations.
- DC barrel jacks: 5.5×2.1mm for connecting power supplies. Screw-terminal and solder versions.
- Wago 221 lever nuts: Tool-free wire splicing for power distribution. 2, 3, and 5-port models.
Aluminum Channels
- U-channel (surface mount): 17mm wide, accepts 10-12mm strips. Includes frosted diffuser cover, end caps, and mounting clips. 1m and 2m lengths.
- V-channel (corner mount): 45° profile for corner installations. Same diffuser and accessory system.
- Recessed channel: Mounts flush with the surface for a seamless integrated look. Requires a routed groove.
- Flexible silicone channel: Bendable to curved surfaces while maintaining diffusion. 1m lengths.
Signal Accessories
- Level shifter (3.3V to 5V): SN74HCT125N quad buffer IC on a breakout board. Essential when using 3.3V controllers (ESP32, Raspberry Pi) with 5V pixel strips.
- Signal amplifier/repeater: Regenerates data signal for cable runs over 5m between controller and strip.
- T-connector: Split one data output to two strip runs (parallel wiring).
