EL Wire/Tape/Panel / Extras

Copper tape can be an interesting addition to your toolbox. The tape itself is made of thin pure copper so its extremely flexible and can take on nearly any shape. You can easily solder to it, and the tape itself can carry current just like a wire. On the back is an electrically conductive adhesive. The adhesive can't carry significant current but it is very handy for sensing applications where you don't want to solder the copper tape....

Give yourself some more room with an EL wire cable extender. This cable has a 2-pin JST SM plug on one end and receptacle on the other. Use it to extend the reach of EL wire, panel, tape, etc. The cable is a meter long, you can of course snap more together if necessary, or cut and re-solder it if you need to shorten. Because this is meant for EL wire extending, and EL is not 'polarized' we don't guarantee that that the plug and...

If you want to connect multiple EL wires/strips/panels up to one inverter, these splitters are quite useful. There is one male connector (goes to the inverter) and then 4 female connectors (which will connect to each wire/strip/panel. You can even cascade them! Only thing to watch for is make sure that the total length of EL does not exceed what the inverter can drive! These are for EL only! EL is 'AC' powered so there is no...

These 2-wire cables are 16cm long and come as a set.  One side has a 2-pin JST SM type connector plug on the end.  The other side has a matching 2-pin JST SM type receptacle connector.  They are good for whenever you have 2 wires you want to be able to plug and unplug.  We like the solid and compact nature of these connectors and the latch that keeps the cable from coming apart easily. For more information, check the JST...

Copper sheet can be an interesting addition to your toolbox. The sheet itself is made of thin pure copper so its extremely flexible and can take on nearly any shape. You can easily solder to it, and the material itself can carry current just like a wire. On the back is an electrically conductive adhesive. The adhesive can't carry significant current but it is very handy for sensing applications where you don't want to solder the copper...

If you have a project where you'd like to be able to detach the wiring, this wire will fit the bill. Its a JST 2.5mm 'free hanging' cable assembly that latches strongly. One wire is marked with a white dashed line. You can't plug these in backwards. This is the matching connector to the inverter. It is required to connect EL wire to the inverter! 0.1" (2.54mm) pitch JST SM connector on the end Please note these are designed...

If you have a project where you'd like to be able to detach the wiring, this wire will fit the bill. Its a JST 2.5mm 'free hanging' cable assembly that latches strongly. One wire is marked with a white dashed line. You can't plug these in backwards. We use these mostly for EL wire. This is the same connector as is on the inverter. It's useful if you're making a Y-connector or want to attach EL wire to some other kind of...
