Wire is fine. However the connectors certainly do not work very well. The part of the connector that attaches to the wire is not the issue. The problem lies where the connector attaches to the tape. The way this part works is by the pins in the connector punching through the bottom side of the tape in order to make a connection to the copper on the top of the tape. Even with the sticky back removed the pins making contact with the copper is very hit or miss. I found the only way I can get a solid connection is to remove the silicon top of the tape and placing it on the bottom of the tape and install the tape upside down in the clip. I found that this gave me a solid connection each time with out failure. This method certainly negates the waterproof aspect at the connector, but is works.
