LED strip connector ACT FOC-LCSC-9SMD-5 for 9 SMD LEDs, 5 mm pitch

ACT FOC-LCSC-9SMD-5 is a compact connector engineered for LED strips with 9 SMD contacts arranged at a 5 mm pitch. It creates a reliable electrical and mechanical link between small-pitch SMD LED modules and flexible LED strips, enabling repair, extension or joining of short LED segments without soldering. The connector is designed to integrate into lighting fixtures, signage and decorative installations where space is limited and precision alignment is required.

Advantages

The connector provides a stable contact for fine-pitch SMD LEDs while minimizing the need for tools and permanent joints. Its compact form factor supports neat installations in confined spaces and reduces assembly time compared with soldered connections. Designed for repeatable use, the connector allows quick replacement or reconfiguration of LED segments and helps maintain consistent electrical continuity and mechanical retention.

Suitable for

• Repairing short sections of flexible LED strips with 9 SMD contacts and 5 mm pitch
• Extending or joining small-pitch SMD LED modules in signage
• Connecting short LED segments inside lighting fixtures and decorative installations
• Temporary or permanent non-soldered connections during prototyping or maintenance

Key specifications

• Contact count: 9 SMD contact positions
• Contact pitch: 5 mm
• Connection type: mechanical connector for flexible LED strips and SMD modules
• Application: designed for fine-pitch SMD LED segment joining, repair and extension
• Mounting: inline connection suitable for confined installation spaces

How to use

Align the LED strip or SMD module so that its exposed contact pads match the connector's 9 contact positions at the 5 mm pitch. Insert the strip carefully until it seats fully, ensuring each pad rests on the corresponding contact. Engage the mechanical locking mechanism (if present) to secure the assembly and verify continuity before final installation. For removal, release the latch or pull the strip straight out to avoid bending contacts.

Usage recommendations

Prior to use, ensure contact pads are clean and free of adhesive residue to maintain reliable electrical contact. Use the connector within the rated current limits of the LED strip and avoid excessive bending at the connection point. When used in permanent installations, verify mechanical retention and consider strain relief to prevent stress on the connector and LED strip.
