Connectors for linear lighting are disclosed. These connectors include one side with a slot adapted to accept a strip of linear lighting. The other side may have either another slot for a second strip of linear lighting, if two strips of linear lighting are to be electrically connected end-to-end, or a set of terminal blocks for connecting the strip of linear lighting to wires, such as a set of power leads. The slot has a set of contacts, spaced from one another, that make physical contact with solder pads or other such electrical connecting structures on the linear lighting. The terminal blocks have conductive cages to make contact with the wires. Both the set of contacts in the slot and pressor members in the cages are driven into engagement by sets of adjustable positioning members that bear on them.

The connector includes a first insulator including a first retaining surface and a protrusion portion formed on and protruding from the first retaining surface, and a second insulator including a second retaining surface opposed to the first retaining surface and a recess portion formed in the second retaining surface and corresponding to the protrusion portion, the first insulator and the second insulator are connected to each other with the sheet type conductive member and the electric wire being held between the first retaining surface and the second retaining surface, and at least part of the protrusion portion is housed in the recess portion, whereby the conductor portion of the electric wire is electrically connected to the flexible conductor of the sheet type conductive member in the recess portion.

A system comprises a printed circuit board (PCB) substrate and a housing. The PCB substrate has a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs), a first plurality of electrical conductor portions and a second plurality of electrical conductor portions. The housing has a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The housing has on the first side a first wire terminal and a second wire terminal. The housing has on the second side a first conductor contact and a second conductor contact. The housing is configured to be attachable to the PCB substrate so that first conductor contact is electrically coupled to an electrical conductor portion from the first plurality of electrical conductor portions and the second conductor contact is electrically coupled to an electrical conductor portion from the second plurality of electrical conductor portions.
