I see surface contacts on the led strip,3528, but no indication which is red and which is black. How do I orient the connector?

I put these on my motorcycle and doesn't matter which direction you place them.

The light is polarity sensitive, red is positive, black is negative, check the polarity of your existing wiring, you may find black is positive and white is negative. Why you have 2 white wire? I'm not sure, one wire may possibly be suppling gound to another fixture... goood luck, Scott

The one on mine is red. Lights up when it is plugged in and flashes with activity. If your USB ports are upside down you can't see the light.

It is wired backwards. verify the led's are attached to the led side of the controller. Also verify polarity. The led strip will blink id polarity is reversed.

I use the HitLights LED PCB Connector Box For 3528SMD connectors. They work great for connecting strips together once you figure out how to use them.

dear friend: thanks for your attention and message,this item is 4 wire, only use for 3528 & 5050 RGB SMD LED Strip lights,can not use for single color Led strip light.if you have any question,please feel free to contact us . have an nice day

Yes, they will connect two LED strips. The distance between the contacts is about 4 mm.

I would check that the main (wider) ribbon cable is installed correctly - that the contacts on the ribbon cable mate to the correct contacts on the circuit board.

You have to get the connectors and then splice it into the correct wire colors. If you dont want to buy the connectors, you could always match the wire location to the solder point on one LED strip, then match the connection you made with the next LED strip. Thats how i do it and it works just fine. Just be careful of bending the solder points to much. They could break the connection causing the LED strip to not work on one side or maybe one color not showing.

If you look carefully on the back of the light by the connector, the words "GROUND", "TAIL", and "STOP & TURN" are embossed in the plastic near each of the connector pins corresponding to those functions. On the wire harness kit that came with mine (you might want to check yours), GROUND = White, TAIL (Running) = Black, and STOP & TURN = Red. The wires coming out of the bottom of the connector also roughly line up with the connector pins left-to-right; i.e., Black on left, Red in center, White on right.

It seems that you have to modify your power connection to your display strip. you could remove the power supply output connector and replace it with a screw terminal strip, connecting the plus and minus output to screw terminals will allow you to connect the led strip to the screw terminal with ease. Otherwise, you could ad a power receptical adapter to your led strip to connect your power supply directly. Before you go any further you should verify the power requirements for the led strip, if each of the led elements in the strip have a current draw of more than 8 miliamps you may need a higher wattage power supply.

Go on the internet and google the color code wiring diagram then match the outputs, such as B+ to B+, B- to B- ect..

They use a proprietary connector, not sure why you would want a different strip though. Even if you managed to get one hooked up it wouldn't work with the controller.EDIT:I read your comments, I think that yes you can because the strip has a spot for another connection at it's end. However I would be wary to try it seeing as how my first HUE melted. Interesting idea though, might try this on my next build..

Contact LED Supply (802-728-6031) and ask them for the replacement for LED driver MD-LED-D35-2. The part needed is LD-CU7021AF MagTech - 9-Watt 700mA Constant Current LED Driver. For installation connections, cut plugs from old driver and connect to new driver as follows: A/C in: Black (plug side) to Brown (driver side): White (plug) to Blue (driver); D/C out: Red to Red & Black to Black. This worked for me, and cost $16.99 including shipping.

I just got this delivered today and the connector is facing the wrong way and will not work for the A1432. I'm going to try to see if the seller has one with the proper orientation or get a refund.

Seller, please add a picture of the reverse side so connector details are visible.

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