LED Strip Dual Sided Solderless Quick Connect

thingiverse

Save your solder and your fingers! This WS2812B Individual LED Strip Mount is designed for use with 3-pin Solderless LED connector adapters that support the LED and prevent movement between the LED segment and the clips. This adapter also works well with 90-degree corner clips. I'm building a matrix with 256 (16x16) WS2812B LEDs, and I wanted to find a way to support both the LED and solderless clips. As with don3sch's version, I left the track mount as it was on Thing #106844. The track may have other uses and you can find a track clip template on Thing #106844. Clips from other derivatives of this part should fit this track too. You can also use the mount groove to hold a power injection wire in place that needs to feed part of a matrix. I shortened the track even more than don3sch's to accommodate a single WS2812B LED from a 30-LED/m strip (21.5mm), widened the 3-pin adapter clip by 2mm, and added a clip bracket on the opposite end so that the quick connector is supported on both ends to daisy chain LEDs in a matrix or other configuration without having to solder the 3-pin wires. The overall length of this mount is 51.6mm. If anyone wants a track to hold a WS2812B 60-LED/m strip segment (which are closer together, so the track will be smaller) or a WS2811 3-LED segment, I can create it for them.
