Once un-twisted, use your cutters to strip
off the insulation 5mm from the end of
each wire. Keep a firm grip on the cable
whilst stripping to ensure the two wires
remain aligned.
Twist the bare tinned copper strands into
tightly smooth ends.
Now tin the ends with your soldering iron.
To do this, place the iron under the bare
end just add a little solder. You will see the
bare twisted wire takes on the solder very
quickly. Remove the iron as quickly as you
can before the insulation melts. Do not
cover them in thick solder as they will not
fit in the circuit board holes..
Now do exactly the same at the other end
so that your cable looks like this..
Push one end of the cable into the ‘Power
IN’ holes in the board. The cables should
enter the board from the back (solder-
side).
