Accessory of The Week: Blue Mid-Connector Tiger Paw

 It comes as no shock that round right here we assume our patented Tiger Paw® connectors are the excellent issue for the reason that sliced bread!  This ingenious little product line started out with a few easy and usually used styles, like our wellknown screw terminal and plug-in connectors, which allowed electricians and DIYers alike the freedom to cut, connect, and diagram low-voltage lighting fixtures structures in-field.

But we didn’t cease there! Over the years we’ve designed hundreds of customized LED layouts, and in the technique discovered innovative ways to make our merchandise less difficult to use in a huge range of applications. We adopted new connector sizes and styles, and even developed a resolution of Right Angle Tiger Paws® to deal with tight corners. But as job necessities grew, one of our largest challenges got here from getting stuck in the middle- literally! This is how the Blue Screw Terminal Mid-Connector  used to be born…
Most frequently when dealing with flexible LED strip lights, energy is supplied from one end. But relying on the size and brightness of the product, this might also motive voltage drop- a gradual however seen limit in mild output from the starting of the strip to the end.  When lights a wellknown under-cabinet application, for example, a short strip of LED tape light around 34” can without difficulty be powered from one side. However, when it comes to lights a soffit or cove, mild strips can without difficulty lengthen over 20 toes in length. Under these circumstances, voltage drop turns into a plenty greater issue, as the brightness degree at the commencing of the strip turns into greater distinguishable from the end.
Fortunately, this hassle is easily resolved via powering the LED strip from the center, allowing light to be evenly dispersed twice as a long way in each directions. Inspired LED’s new Blue Mid-Connector Tiger Paw® makes use of our patented technological know-how to make tightly closed terminations from a electricity supply to the middle of an LED strip, making voltage drop a cinch to solve
Let’s test out how to excellent set up this new connector in order to take full benefit of its features!

When inserting a bendy LED strip into the Tiger Paw®, you will prefer to first make positive the adhesive backing has been eliminated from the strip. Then pull open the black latch and slide the bendy LED strip between the beige bridge piece and the latch. Make certain the polarity is the identical throughout each bendy strips. We like to suppose of this as a “train track” in which the polarities proceed on the equal sides. Otherwise one of the strips will no longer illuminate.

Push the black latches closed to lock bendy LED strips are locked into place, then use a small screwdriver to open the screw terminal ports for wiring. During this step, it may additionally be useful to mark the polarity of the fantastic or bad facet earlier than trying to wire into the connector, we propose marking with a sharpie on the fantastic terminal!

Strip the ends of your 16-22 AWG stable or stranded wire, and healthy polarities as you insert every aspect into the screw terminal ports. Double test the polarity as soon as greater earlier than re-tightening your screws.

Now that everything is established and connected, flip on your strength to make certain the whole lot is working properly, then it’s time to take a seat again and experience your new LED lights system!
