unime is right. I wished I'd checked in here before I got myself in trouble and taken a bunch of arrows I didn't need to.

Watch the soldering if you're new to it. Even with a nice crimp it's easy to over-solder the pin making it mostly impossible to insert it into the plastic part. I found good solder is more important than a good solder iron/gun.

Doesn't hurt to learn how to remove the pin after it's clicked into place. This comes in handy once you've put the black wire in the red plastic, not because of color blindness but because of solder-rage mentioned previously.

I'm happy with the results but putting the darn things together can be maddening.
