Hi all,
I have an RGB LED strip with a connector already nicely placed onto it. It came with a white SIL connector which plugs nicely into it. I wanted some right-angled SIL connector for attaching this to my board and bought some.
The thing is, the SIL connectors that I've just bought appear to be completely standard, but they will not fit into the RGB LED strip holes. Both SIL connectors fit happily into breadboards and veroboards, so they're the same pitch.
It seems the white one, that came with the RGB LED strip, has round legs, but the other has square legs. They do appear to be about the same diameter / thickness. For the life of me Internet searching has not yielded any results for these SIL connectors so I can buy some more - of course, I would like right-angled ones.
**broken link removed**
I don't suppose anyone on here has used these before and knows where I can get them from? The supplier of the RGB LED strip tells me they only have the connectors they've already given me so I can't get help from there.
