Hi all,

I'm in Auckland, Northshore, Birkenhead are half way through and LED project, and need some of these right now

Any ideas where I can go and buy them from?

i have a range of other connectors for different purposes, but I need these ones specifically.

Googled, Jaycar etc don't seem to stock them.

How many you need? And its 5 pin ones you need? I have some 4 pins around that came with some magichome controllers that I opened and put wires into because those round pin connectors are terrible I might be able to find in the shed later tonight when its not a sauna in there.

Thanks, but as a temp fix I sorted something out with some other connectors.
Agree they aren't great but the power injectors only take those fittings

The ones I am having problems finding are the 6 pin ones for the RGB+CCT controllers because theyre a smaller pitch than the normal ones. 3 orders on aliexpress cancelled or had to get refunds on. FFFffffff covid.

yeah - had similar issues, thought the order had come through, but must have been one of the cancelled ones.

Like this and cut to the number of pins you need.

Interesting.
Didn't know led connectors were standard sizes like that, but I guess it makes sense.
I'll go and pick up a set of those tomorrow.
