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 1):
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, wherein such gasket is made of an elastic impermeable material; a wired housing adapted to receive the male socket, the wired housing comprising: a housing being made of a dielectric or insulating material, defining a front face as facing said female socket, a rear face opposite said front face, and an upper surface adjacent to the upper surface of said female socket, and being divided into a forward section and a rearward section; said forward section having a cuboid shape and being joined to said rearward section at an intermediate point, and said rearward section having on its rear face a narrow opening and being smoothly tapered between said intermediate point and said narrow opening; a wired housing male connection interface located on said forward section front face and comprising an extruded subsection of said front face for receiving the male socket wherein the four prongs of the male socket extend from said extrusion; a notch within the housing dimensioned to receive the male socket locking mechanism catch;
