US Patent 10378747 Field-configurable LED tape light

LED tape is provided that employs a plurality of surface-mounted contact terminals. The LED tape can be severed at discrete locations adjacent to the contact terminal to create a tape segment configured to interconnect to a power source or to another tape segment by way of a wire selectively received and secured within corresponding terminal connectors. The use of the connecting wire omits the need for a mechanical connector or integration by soldering currently required to interconnect LED tape segments.
