Mastering LED Connections: A Comprehensive Guide to LED Cables and Connectors
Uncover the world of LED cables and connectors with our definitive guide, delving into the intricacies of these vital components for your lighting endeavors. LED lighting, renowned for its energy efficiency and high performance, continues to dominate in homes and commercial spaces. To ensure your LED lighting projects shine, understanding the diverse options in cables and connectors is paramount.
Understanding LED Cables and Connectors:
LED cables and connectors play a crucial role in powering and linking LED strip lights or modules within lighting systems. These components facilitate a spectrum of functions, complementing other lighting elements to craft captivating displays and vibrant wall lights in an array of colors. Whether you’re orchestrating an event spectacle or implementing efficient warehouse lighting, the right LED cables and connectors are essential.
Key Considerations:
Voltage Matching: Ensure the LED product aligns with the voltage of the power supply.
Power Supply Capacity: Confirm that the power supply can handle the load of your LED strip.
Suitability for High Loading: Certain cable types may be unsuitable for high loading applications.
Types of LED Cables and Connectors:
Single and Twin Cables
When it comes to powering or connecting LED lights using LED cables, you have a range of options, including single and twin cables. Solderless connectors are also an option when a soldering iron is not available.
Single LED Cables
- UL1007 Nominal Temperature: 80℃
- UL1015 Nominal Temperature: 105℃
- UL3239 Silicone Cable Nominal Temperature: 150℃
Single LED cables are designed as single-core cables for connecting LED strip lights or modules. Widely used in lighting and sign-making, especially in events and weddings. You can acquire single-core LED cables by the meter or in 200m reels.
Fongkit offers a diverse collection of high-quality single LED cables, known for their efficiency and user-friendly single-core design.
Twin LED Cables
- UL2468
- UL2464
- UL20276:
Use: Construction A: Internal wiring or external interconnection of electronic equipment in Class 2 circuits only. Construction B: Internal wiring of electronic equipment in Class 2 circuits only.
- UL CL3R:
Used for installations in which the cables penetrate more than one floor or penetrate walls in the same floor.
- VDE H03VVH2-F 2×0.5mm²:
Mainly used for the European market.
- VDE H03VVH2-F 2×0.75mm²
Twin LED cables, specially crafted for LED components, feature two wires with figure-eight insulation. Available in various options, such as two-core flat cables and clear twin LED cables with accompanying cable connectors. Opt for double-insulated twin-core clear LED cables when connecting sets of letters together, as these wires are less visible.
CCT cables:
- UL2468 3C
- UL2464 3C
- UL20276 3C
- UL CL3R 3C
- UL1007 3C
CCT LED light introduces Colour Changing Technology. Fongkit provides suitable LED cables and connectors tailored for CCT LED lighting applications.
RGB cables:
- UL1007 4C
- UL2464 4C
- UL2468 4C
If you’re using RGB LED strips, RGB cables are necessary. Remove the coating at the end of the strip, use a soldering iron to connect the stripped wires to the corresponding connector pads.
RGBW cables:
- UL1007 5C
- UL2468 5C
- UL2464 5C
RGBW cables introduce an extra white sub-pixel to the traditional red, green, and blue, resulting in a four-colored pixel. Fans claim this produces a refined white tone, enhancing the vividness of other colors.
LSZH cables:
- UL4384
- VDE H03Z1Z1H2-F 2X0.75
- WDZR(H05Z1Z1-F) 3×0.75mm²
Opt for low smoke and fume single LED cables in areas where smoke or toxic fumes could pose a risk, as they produce no corrosive gases.
Selecting the Right LED Cables and Connectors:
- Customized LED strip layouts can be effortlessly crafted with our connectors and high-quality cables, available by the meter and ready to be cut to your specifications.
- Opt for solderless connectors or enlist our expert team for soldering tailored cable tails.
- Prioritize safety by choosing cables suitable for your LED strip system, avoiding improper alternatives with limited current-carrying capacities that may overheat.
