Built for clean, solderless cornersThis connector is a corner solution for two-pin single-colour
COB LED strip in the 8MM width. The clamp-style contacts close over the copper pads on the tape and hold them against the internal terminals, creating a mechanical and electrical connection in seconds. Between the two clips sits a short flexible cable, and that cable is the whole point: it lets the light turn a corner while the tape itself stays flat and unstressed. Bending COB tape sideways stretches the copper traces and is a classic cause of dead sections weeks after installation — a wired L connector removes that risk completely.
Light quality through the jointCOB tape is prized for its continuous, dot-free line of light, and a bad joint ruins that in one spot. Because this is a two-pin connector, polarity is carried straight through, so both sections stay at the same brightness with no flicker and no colour shift at the transition. The connection behaves exactly like the rest of the circuit: if your strip and driver are
dimmable, the run stays dimmable through the connector. Keeping the contacts clean and fully seated is what protects that uniformity over time.
Installation, step by stepAlways cut the strip on the marked cut line, never between the marks. Wipe the copper pads clean — dust, adhesive residue or fingerprints are the most common cause of a weak contact. Open the clip, slide the tape fully under the contacts until the pads sit squarely on the terminals, then close the clip firmly. Confirm that the positive and negative markings line up on both sides before powering up, and test the whole run before you mount the
aluminum channel or peel the adhesive backing. The low-profile body is designed to disappear inside a channel or behind trim, so plan where the joint will land while the strip is still loose.

Applications and companion partsThink of every place a run has to change direction: an L-shaped kitchen counter, a cove that wraps a living-room ceiling, stair nosings, a closet returning along two walls, illuminated signage, retail display cases and workbenches. It is a practical accessory for residential and light-commercial
LED strip lighting projects across Canada, where basement renovations and cabinet installs rarely run in a single straight line. Pair it with the
L-shape COB connector 2-pin 8mm for corners with no gap, the
straight COB connector 2-pin 8mm for in-line joints, and the
green connector for power supply or
green female connector for power supply at the driver end of the circuit. No spec sheet or IES file is published for this accessory; the details above cover what you need to order the right part the first time.
