  • Color: Typically red or marked with an "R" or "D" sign
  • Connection: Connect to the data output of a compatible controller or microcontroller
  • Pin 3: G (Green Wire) - Ground
  • Function: Provides a ground connection for the LED strip
  • Color: Typically green or marked with a "-" sign
  • Connection: Connect to the ground of the power source and/or the ground of the controller or microcontroller
  • Pin 4: -12V (Negative Power Input)
  • Function: Supplies the return path for the 12V power input
  • Color: Typically black or marked with a "-" sign
  • Connection: Connect to the negative terminal of the power source, ensuring a complete circuit
  • Connection Structure:
  • To connect the LED strip correctly, follow these steps:
  • 1. Power Connection:
  • Connect Pin 1 (+12V) to a 12V power source (e.g., wall adapter, battery, or power supply)
  • Connect Pin 4 (-12V) to the negative terminal of the power source
  • 2. Data Connection (if using a controller or microcontroller):
  • Connect Pin 2 (R - Data Signal) to the data output of the controller or microcontroller
  • Connect Pin 3 (G - Ground) to the ground of the controller or microcontroller
  • 3. Ensure proper polarity:
  • Verify that the positive (red) wire is connected to Pin 1 (+12V) and the negative (black) wire is connected to Pin 4 (-12V)
  • Important Notes:
  • Make sure to handle the LED strip by the edges to avoid damaging the SMD LEDs.
  • Avoid bending or folding the strip excessively, as this can cause damage to the internal circuitry.
  • When connecting the pins, ensure they are securely attached to prevent loose connections and potential electrical shock.
  • This LED strip is not waterproof, so avoid exposing it to water or high humidity environments.
  • By following these instructions and guidelines, you should be able to correctly connect and use your 12V Warm White 5050 SMD LED Strip Flexible 5M/Roll NO Waterproof.
