Inspect the end of each connector. You should see the contact
pressing up against the end as shown in Figure 30. If necessary, press the
contact in from the back until it reaches the end. If you don’t get the
contact pushed all the way in so it locks over the end of the spring, it
will not make reliable contact with the mating connector.

Orient the housings with dimpled side up so that the red and black
housings are over the colors marked on the PCB exactly as shown in
Figure 31. Be sure the housings are oriented as shown. If they are
upside down they will not mate to the connectors on the power cord.

Look closely at the sides of the housings. Each has a small tongue
on one side and a groove on the other. Slide the two housings together
engaging the tongue in the groove. Be sure they are fully meshed. No roll
pin is needed to lock the shells together.
Bend the copper wire at right angles to the housings so that when it
is placed in the holes on the PCB, the housings lie against the PCB
within their outline as shown in Figure 31. Be sure the red housing is
on the
+ side and the housings are oriented as shown.
Solder the wires in place and cut them as close to the PCB as
possible.
