This CANOLIGHT wire-to-PCB connector is engineered to complement modern COB (Chip-on-Board) LED strip technology, which delivers a smooth, dot-free line of light compared to traditional SMD-based strips. By maintaining a solid electrical interface between the supply wire and the PCB, the connector helps preserve consistent voltage delivery across the full length of your strip, reducing the risk of dimming, flickering, or hot spots that can occur with poor-quality connections.

The IP65 ingress protection rating means this connector is sealed against dust and protected from low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for damp and wet-rated locations such as covered exterior soffits, bathroom vanities, and outdoor entertaining areas. When paired with an equally rated COB strip and power supply, the entire lighting circuit maintains its moisture resistance from end to end — a critical consideration for any installation beyond a standard dry interior space.

Safety and compliance are built into every detail. This accessory is cUL/CSA approved, meeting the rigorous testing and certification requirements mandated for electrical components sold and installed in Canada. Homeowners and licensed electricians alike can trust that the connector's materials, contact points, and insulation have been evaluated for long-term reliability under normal residential operating conditions.

Installation is straightforward and requires no soldering. Simply strip the wire end, secure it into the connector mechanism, and attach the PCB side to your 8mm-width COB strip light. The included wire provides enough lead length for convenient routing, and the low-profile form factor allows the connection to be concealed within aluminum channels, behind trim, or inside architectural details. Combined with an efficient LED driver and proper planning, this connector helps you build a complete, energy-saving lighting system that significantly outperforms traditional halogen or incandescent accent lighting in both longevity and operating cost.
