Step 4Reattach the Pins for the Male Plug
Now we have to attach the pins onto the right wires.
By now you should have a set of four wires that have no plug attached. Use the wirestrippers to remove about a centimeter of sheath from each wire on one end of the bundle. Now take the pins from the male plug and bend the clamps 90 degrees like in the picture. Use the flathead to push the locking tabs back out of the pin. Then bend the clamps to hold the wire on and solder the wire to the pin. This is much easier if you have one of those soldering "helping hands" stations (believe me).
When you've got all four pins reattached, you might want to put some heatshrink on. Or not - depends on what you want. Put them back in the male plug, making sure they are arranged in the same pinout as the other untouched male plug you have.
