1. Prep the Wires

If your wire has an outer jacket, remove a portion

to expose individual wires as shown.

If your wire is the ﬂ at ribbon wire type separate the ends

of wires with a ﬂ athead screwdriver or razor knife to about

1 inch. Do not strip wire bare.

2. Plan your wire layout, maintain polarity

Check the polarity of your tape. Use the + and –

(white lighting) or +12V/G/R/B (RGB color-changing)

markings printed on the tape light as a guide to maintain

the same polarity with your power supply or color

controller low voltage outputs.

–

+12V

3. Insert wires into the Wire Grip Connector

The wires go in the grooved side of the connector.

Be sure the individual wires seat themselves in the

receiving grooves.

4. Clamp the connector wire cover closed

Use pliers to apply gentle pressure evenly across the

pressure door. Be sure that the small locks on both sides

are fully engaged.

WireGrip Connectors

Important: These instructions cover connector models

for both white and RGB color changing LED tape lighting.

Use model 569005 for 2-wire white LED lighting

and model 769005 for 4-wire RGB LED lighting.

For instructional purposes, photos and illustrations shown

will relate to both connectors.

■

No soldering or special tools required. WireGrip

connectors allow you to easily add low voltage

power wire leads to your LED tape lighting

■

Uses a clamp-down mechanism with insulation-

piercing metal pins that make secure and reliable

connections without soldering, no stripping of wires is

needed

■

Works with 22, 20, and 18AWG gauge wire, however

some wire types with thicker than standard insulation

may not work properly – always test a sample wire ﬁ rst
