Solderless LED connectors

Other Hardware LEDs and Multiplexing

I'm using this

connector

I find them to be a bit finicky. They are easy to connect them up, but the LEDs don't light up. I found that if I left the connector head open (not clamped down) the connectors work better. If I clamped and secured the head, they sometimes don't work. I think the problem lies in the middle signal wire. Does anyone have a quick fix for this?

I hate soldering these WS8211B strips since the little pads that lets you solder on is so small. the heat form the solder iron can wreck those points.
