5 meter reel of 2824 NeoPixel - What connectors?

[guybmbdigit]

I am getting ready to purchase a 5-meter full reel of NeoPixel RGBW 2824 (30 LED/meter). I would like to know what connectors come on the full reel so I can also order the correct connector to mate up with the connector that comes on the 5-meter reel.
Additionally, with all LEDs at full brightness I come up with needing a 12amp power supply. Is this correct? (based on 80mA draw per LED & 150 LEDs on a 5-meter reel)

12A is the worst case requirement. I seriously doubt you'd ever have need for that. That would be the white LED plus the RGB LEDs to make more white. It depends on how you're using the LEDs.

As for the connector... it's not specified. I suggest you get the connectors that you want to use and put them on the strip.

https://www.adafruit.com/product/2824 has some suggestions near the bottom of the description.

Perfect!
This is exactly what I needed to know! (a picture is worth a thousand words!)

Thx!
