Assembly
Break off the ground tab of the plug (longest of the 3 terminals) by flexing it a few times (Figure 1).
Figure 1
Thread the plug into the flat end of the bracket until the plug's bushing is flush with the face (Figure
2). If the fit is too tight to thread the plug in by hand, grip the plug's shaft with long-nose pliers. (To protect
the plug's finish, wrap it with a piece of cloth, ribbon, or tape.)
Figure 2
Cut two 0.5" lengths of the bare silver wire. Form each wire into a U-shape with sharp bends as
shown in Figure 3a. The legs should be spaced 3/16" (4.8 mm) apart.

Figure 3
Insert the U-shaped wires into the two small holes at the end of each PC board as shown above. The
wire is inserted from the side identified in (b), then folded flat on the side shown in (c). The wire must be
pressed flat against the board on both sides (d).
Solder the wire only on the side identified in Figure 3c. Do not apply any solder to the side shown
in (b). Do not attempt to fill the plated-through hole with solder, as it may flow onto the contact point
on the other side.
