IP67 Silicone Filled Connector

This is a connector.

It is a component on its own – there is no light source, driver or wiring supplied with it.

What it does

This is a sealed connector for joining low-voltage lighting cable outdoors or in a damp position.

A cable joint is the weakest point of any exterior installation. Water does not usually get into a run through the cable itself; it gets in where two cables were joined, and it travels along inside the conductor from there. A join made with tape or a plain terminal block will pass its first test and fail some months later, at a point nobody can see.

A silicone-filled connector removes that failure mode. The gel excludes water and air from the join permanently, so the connection is as protected as the cable either side of it.

Use one at every join in an exterior run, including the ones that seem temporary. Temporary joins in garden lighting have a way of becoming permanent, and the ones made quickly are the ones that fail.

Choosing and ordering

Confirm which fitting or run this is listed against before ordering – parts of this kind are made to one model and are not interchangeable.

Order it with the fitting where you can. A component like this is inexpensive next to the work it holds up, and the job that waits on one small part is a job that stays unfinished for the sake of a few dollars.

Identifying the part you need

The hard part of ordering a component is rarely the component; it is working out which one you have. Lighting ranges share a look across models that take entirely different parts, and a part that is a few millimetres out simply will not fit.

The reliable identifier is the part number on the fitting itself. It is usually printed on the body, on the driver, or on a label inside the housing, and it is worth finding before ordering rather than after. Where a fitting is already installed and the label is out of reach, a clear photograph is often enough for our team at Lights For You to identify it.

It is also worth checking what else the job needs while you are looking. Components are usually ordered one at a time and arrive one at a time, and a second small part discovered after the first has been fitted means the work stops twice instead of once.

Frequently asked questions

Why not just tape the join?

Tape does not exclude water for long. Moisture entering a join travels along inside the conductor and the failure shows up months later, somewhere buried.

Where should I use one?

At every join in an exterior or damp-position low-voltage run.

Does it include a driver or wiring?

No. It is a component only – any driver, cable or light source is separate.

What warranty does it carry?

2 Years*
