Step 5Adding The Wires

Adding The Wires

Now that the two adapters are joined you can add the wires. I didn't use the Ground tab, but you could add a jumper wire to connect the two and solder those as well.

Again as I soldered the wires on, I plugged a cord into the one I was soldering to aid in conducting the heat out of the adapter as I soldered it.

If your going to use shrink tube don't forget to put it on before you solder. I don't know how many times I soldered something and forgot to put the shrink tube on first   :(

Depending on what I'm building... Sometimes Ill put one layer of electrical tape, then put  my shrink tube over it.

Also note the Neutral wire may have a strip or ribs on it if it doesn't have separate colored wires inside the sheathing.
