If you solder wires to the terminals, tin them lightly first. When
soldering, flow solder only into the hole in which the wire is inserted.
Be careful not to get any solder around the outer body of the terminal.
Then insert the flanged end of
the terminal into the contact
housing through the open,
square end of the housing
(Figs. 3, 4 and 5). The terminal
will snap into place when
correctly oriented.
