Abstract:
An LED strip connector system for providing secure electrical and mechanical connection between LED strips comprising a male socket end, a female socket end, a locking mechanism, a gasket, a wired housing, and an end cap. The locking mechanism consists of a clip and clip catch and provides a detachable, secure, vibration-resistant mechanical connection between strips. The gasket is made of an elastic, impermeable material and is configured and positioned to establish a moisture-resistant seal between connectors, protecting the electrical connection from environmental moisture. The wired housing connects a female socket end to a power cord. The end cap protects the exposed contacts of an open socket.

Claim (Index 11):
An apparatus for coupling light emitting diode (LED) strips to each other or to a power source, comprising:\n a male socket; a female socket; a locking mechanism catch located on an upper surface of the male socket; a locking mechanism clip arm located on the upper surface of the female socket, the locking mechanism clip arm and locking mechanism catch, when engaged, adapted to securely couple the male socket to the female socket; a gasket disposed between one of the male socket or the female socket; an end cap, the end cap comprising: a housing having a cuboid shape and being made of an insulated or dielectric material, defining a front face as facing said female socket, a rear face opposite said front face, and upper and lower surfaces between said front and rear faces; an end cap connection interface being located on said end cap front face and comprising an extruded subsection of said front face, said extruded subsection having a slot set therein, said slot having a rectangular shape; and a locking mechanism catch being a notch or ridge within or on said end cap upper surface, said catch for receiving a locking mechanism clip arm lip extending from the locking mechanism clip arm.
