Abstract: An LED connector half (500) mates with a wire connector half (300) to connect a light strip (100) comprising LEDs (115) to a pair of wires. The LED half includes a hinged top (700) with an opening (705) to admit an end LED on the strip when the top is closed, securing the strip to the connector half without blocking the LED. The wire half secures a pair of wires (315) to terminals (305) in a housing (310). The wire half is inserted into the LED half, connecting the Electrodes and terminals. The halves are held together by a tongue (320) and socket (800). In another aspect, a connector (1100) joins two light strips by capturing the LEDs at the ends of the strips in openings (1110) and clamping conductive electrodes (1140) against the strips by closing a lid (1105) against the body, without obscuring LED light output.

Abstract translation: LED连接器一半（500）与电线连接器半部（300）配合，以将包括LED（115）的灯条（100）连接到一对电线。 LED半部包括具有开口（705）的铰接顶部（700），以在顶部关闭时允许带上的端部LED，将带固定到连接器半部而不阻挡LED。 线半部将一对电线（315）固定在壳体（310）中的端子（305）上。 电线一半插入LED一半，连接电极和端子。 一半通过舌头（320）和插座（800）保持在一起。 在另一方面，连接器（1100）通过在开口（1110）中捕获条的端部处的LED并且通过关闭抵靠主体的盖（1105）将导电电极（1140）夹在条上而连接两个光条，而没有 遮挡LED光输出。
