I want to connect this mini controller to my led strips but the connection tips are different. My led multicolor strips have the black connection tips with the 2 clips on the sides. Is there a connector adapter to connect these 2 together ?

No, they're two different style light strips.the only way would be to cut the ends and soldier the together..that's what I did.

You can either purchase the strip connector or the y connector. The strip connector continues the string while the y connector can also continue the string but can hook up to a single controller. That way you can unplug one of the strips while the others continue to operate.

It really depends on what you want to plug the strips into but two choices that I bought to use to get the four wires out to use the three colors of leds are "HitLights LED PCB RGB LED Strip Any Angel Turn Connector, 4 Conductor, For SMD5050 or SMD 3528 RGB Color Changing LED Strip, Strip to Strip, 4 pcs " and "HitLights LED PCB Connector Box For 5050 SMD RGB Color Changing LED strip, Strip to Strip, 10 pcs " or you can just solder wires direct to the pads on the cut lines of the strips. And yes the driver itself would need to be cabable of dimming the leds or if you are simply are going to feed them with 12Volts then you can but a simple dimmer switch in-line with the common feed and dim the leds that way with no driver at all. I personally bought a controller from Custom Dynamics to make my LED strips strobe, dim, and change colors.

It does have the connectors for it so in theory this should work. I haven't tried it, but I imagine the difficulty you might face would be how long it would take to send enough data to update each of the LEDs. Your controller would need to be able to handle that many.

You would need to purchase a 10mm 4pin Plug Female Connector Adapter Extension Cable for 5050 RGB LED Strip Lights: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D7XU5JI/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You would also need a 4 Pin Connector Male for Led Strip Lights RGB 5050: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008LR35VK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

About any of the led strip supplies will work for this / these. I use the ones that look like PC lap top supplies. Lighting EVER® Power Adaptor, Transformers, Power Supply For LED Strip, 12V, 3A Max, 36 Watt Max . These are about $10.00 each. You will need about 30watts (<3 Amps) per strip. I have found the supplied controller will drive at least 2 strips pretty well. It is recommended not to use more than 2 strips in series (one plugged into the next.

The small end is a standard "mini" USB connector (as opposed to "micro"). I used it to plug thumb drives with music into an old car stereo I had. If your controller has a read function that uses "mini" USB it should work.

RGB strips connect to RGB controllers. Depend on the specific controller, please consider B0077IRWH2 or B008M0KYWY.

These panels connections connect to each other in parallel. All you need is 2 cable to connect to the controller. You don't need anything. Good luck

Dear friend, on each end of the RGB led strip, there is a 4 pin male and famale connector, you can connect two rolls into one strip. But please kindly note that it will need a 4A ~ 6A power supply for two rolls.

You can put up to 2 (maybe3) together depending on the power supply you are using. After that you must use a small amplifier for each of 2 more strips.

After every 3 LED's there is a CUT (scissors) line, and right after that line are 2 round contact points. Solder your new wire leads to these. I found it best to TIN the contacts (because they're under the thin plastic coating) and the wires first, then solder them together. I also use RED wire on the side marked DC12V so I'll always know which is the (+) power side of the strip.

Sorry; I can't help you. I bought this to make a repair for a friend's device. The output end was cut off and the adapter was hard wired. I don't remember the color or size of the tip.

I used the connectors and the driver below and used wire nuts to join the driver to the connectors. Butt splices would work too.

All the answers below mirror my experience. Works with mono LED strip without a problem. Bought another to control under cabinet lighting in my other house.

Yes, you'll need to either solder new wires to the contacts on the strip, or use the "any angle" connectors sold as: HitLights 8mm (SMD3528) Any Angle LED Light Strip Connector - 6 Inch (4 Pack)You will have to cut the quick connecting plug from the new power supply and cut the "any angle connector" wire in half, then just connect the wires red to red, black to black. Be sure you attach the connector to the LED strip red to + and black to -. You can use wire nuts, crimp connectors or solder with heat shrink tubing to make the new wire connection.

Good question. I don't have an answer since I only have one strip plugged in. My assumption is that the LED's will operate as one. There aren't any switches or buttons to seperate their function. Personally, I'd have a controller for every strip (even though it accepts 3 strips). The effects are incredible. I'm looking into a controller with many functions as my next purchase. Hope this helps your decision.
