It doesn't. If it did, the COBs would be long fried.the picos do work and meet spec, but running a whole bunch in serial on one driver pushes the spec. great for a one driver \ one cob setup.

O snap!Thanks AP good info. I strapped the cable down so it would be OK to move it a lot, the reason it broke was because I was trying to remove the connector from the COB. Probably not something that most DIYers will have to worry about.
They aren't cheap either, like a $1.50 per for the decent ones, so there's really no excuse on Molex's part to cheap out on the material quality and durability.Pretty sure I removed at the correct angle I removed several others before this one broke, but I may not have been being gentle enough. I was wondering how robust they were so now I will treat them with some extra care.
Here you go. Pm me your addy and i will send you the connectors.@JavaCo
I'll take em' off your hands, as I've had nothing but stellar results with these connectors.
Do you mind sharing the data sheet your referring to? Mine says different...

It's strange that they would include that in the briefing but not in the actual in-depth product specification. You can tell through the requirement section though that the more cycles, the more worn in the components become, with each new cycle requiring less force than the previous.Here you go. Pm me your addy and i will send you the connectors.
A fucking men brotherIt's called Planned Obsolescence.
98% of companies include this in their design.
Look at the iPhone... look at tvs... dishwashers... cars... mowers... even led panels... they all have components that will eventually need replaced, or in the best case scenario- taking advantage of the ignorance of an innocent customer-and selling a whole new product to them.
That's why I strongly believe in learning as best you can and being mechanically inclined. Change your own break pads (just did..), change your own oil (costs the same to take it somewhere anymore - but at least YOU know what quality oil and filter are used), fix your dishwasher (just did...), and don't buy the newest fucking phone thst just got released 6 months after its predecessor to have a better camera or features. *eyeroll*
Edit sorry for the rant... just hate the economy government and corporations.... and society just keeps bitching when their phone breaks or a new one comes out, but by God they keep feeding them. Ugh. Guess I don't have any room to talk.. I'm pretty well addicted to having the top leds.
