One strip of light 20 may be inserted into the chassis 12 through an opening in a front wall of the chassis 12 and the other strip of light 20 may be inserted into the chassis 12 through an opening in a rear wall of the chassis 12.

In one example, a first latch 111 and a second latch 112 are disposed on an outer sidewall of the upper cover 11. Only one of the left and right outer side walls of the upper cover 11 may be provided with a first latch 111 and a second latch 112; the upper cover 11 may be provided with a first latch 111 and a second latch 112 on both left and right outer sidewalls. The first latch 111 and the second latch 112 are disposed along a thickness direction of the band connector 10, the first latch 111 and the second latch 112 both extend along a length direction of the band connector 10, and the first latch 111 is disposed above the second latch 112. The first latch 111 and the second latch 112 may be made of a flexible material, such as silicone.

A first locking groove 121 and a second locking groove 122 are disposed on the inner side wall of the base 12. If only one of the left and right outer side walls of the upper cover 11 is provided with the first latch 111 and the second latch 112, only one of the left and right inner side walls of the base 12 is provided with the first latch groove 121 and the second latch groove 122; if the first latch 111 and the second latch 112 are disposed on the left and right outer sidewalls of the upper cover 11, the first engaging groove 121 and the second engaging groove 122 are also disposed on the left and right inner sidewalls of the base 12. The first card slot 121 and the second card slot 122 are arranged along a thickness direction of the strip connector 10, the first card slot 121 and the second card slot 122 each extend along a length direction of the strip connector 10, and the first card slot 121 is arranged above the second card slot 122.

When the second latch 112 is engaged with the first latch slot 121, the upper cover 11 and the base 12 are in a first connection state, as shown in fig. 4; at this time, the upper cover 11 and the base 12 are primarily fixed and are not easily detached.

When the first fixture 112 is matched with the first card slot 121 and the second fixture 112 is matched with the second card slot 122, the upper cover 11 and the base 12 are in the second connection state, and the toothed contact piece 115 can pierce the pad 22 of the light strip 20, as can be specifically seen in fig. 1. Thus, the two strips 20 are electrically connected by the indented contact strip 115 (the front end of the indented contact strip 115 may pierce the pad 22 of one strip 20 inserted from the front wall of the chassis 12, and the rear end of the indented contact strip 115 may pierce the pad 22 of the other strip 20 inserted from the rear wall of the chassis 12).

In a further embodiment, the opening of the front wall of the base 12 and the opening of the rear wall of the base 12 are both provided with a sliding slot 123, and the light strip 20 can be inserted into the base 12 through the sliding slot 123. The slide groove 123 may be defined by a gap between a stopper bar (not shown) extending along the length of the strip connector 10 and the bottom wall of the base 12; in a preferred embodiment, the two sides of the opening are both provided with limiting strips. Further, the limiting strip is configured to move up and down relative to the bottom wall of the base 12, so as to adjust the distance between the limiting strip and the bottom wall of the base 12 and adapt to the installation of the light strips 20 with different thickness sizes.

In further embodiments, the positioning portion 124 is disposed in the base 12, and the distance between the positioning portion 124 and the front wall of the base 12 is the same as the distance between the positioning portion 124 and the rear wall of the base 12; the positioning portion 124 includes a rib provided on the bottom wall of the base 12, the rib extending in the width direction of the strip connector 10.
