Connector lock for 4PIN LED - Multi Male & Female
Print Profile(1)
Description
Tired of seeing your LED strip connectors unplug at the slightest movement
I have designed a series of universal securing shells for 4-pin LED connectors.
They cover various variations I have encountered
- short or long round cables
- flat cables
- internal or external male/female plugs
I have only modeled for 4 pins, as these are the most common for powering LED strips, but 3 pins should probably also work (not tested)
👉 Compare your cables to the descriptions below and choose the appropriate solution.
All indicated measurements correspond to the internal length of the connector.
