The present invention is a LED connector principally comprised of two compatible halves with flat opposing surfaces, which form a complete cylinder when placed together. Its cross sectional area is no larger than that of the LED lamp. The solid-dome shaped LED component has an annular flat bottom that holds an outwardly extended pair of leads. Two parallel L-shaped recesses extend longitudinally over the connector half's flat surface. A large groove aligned with longer recess is included to accommodate the resister's solder. A pair of strategically spaced slots are formed longitudinally in the connector half's central region. The top slot holds a first conductive terminal member, and the bottom slot holds a second terminal member with their bases, respectively. The opposing connector's flat surface bears the same layout of recesses, slots and grooves. When the connector's halves are adjoined, electrical connections between the LED lamp and wires can be firmly secured and insulated. This interaction is conducted within the radius of the LED component, and is easily reversed by simple rewiring via the unique fastening means. Fastening means include three perpendicularly protruding posts with corresponding pinholes within the connector. Each of said posts and pinholes are individually sized and located in corresponding orientations of the first and second connector halves.
