As you can see, it has 2 of each terminal. The supplied wiring diagram only shows one being used. I have two identical 24v strips that I want to dim together - can I just wire them both in?
Yes as long as the total power draw (watts / amps) doesn't exceed the controller or the power supply you're using.
You could plug two in even if there were only one set of terminals. You're wiring them in parallel.
24 volts times 12 amps means this thing can draw up to 288 watts of power.
I've never seen a consumer LED strip that needs more than that.
The picture is a bit blurry regarding the specs of the controller, but it looks like it has an Output spec of 12A. So as long as you keep your overall load below that, it should be OK.
12 A x 24 V is 288 W. I don't know what your project is but a quick Google search indicates that these strips consume far less than that unless you are going hundreds of feet.
@Nurgus Mostly yes. Check if the currrent is enough to drive both stripes. Sometimes LEDs can make problems if they are connected paralell to a power source, cause they have minimal different forward voltages, but stripes who are allready on 24V should not have that problem. Try it out.
