Step 5Attach the Female Plug
Now we have to attach the female plug to complete the y-split.
Strip about 7mm of wire from the untouched ends of the wires left. Twist together the like colors (make sure you have the black wires paired up correctly!) and attach them to the pins just like you did with the male plugs. You can tin the twisted pairs if you want (and if you know how to do it right, unlike me) if that makes it easier for you. It didn't help me.
You will probably want to put some heatshrink over the pins where they connect with the wires. I put my pins back into the plug and had metal sticking out, so that's why I did it.
The easiest way to make sure you have the pinout right is to plug the empty female plug into one of the male plugs and line up the wires that way. Again, make sure you have the black wires lined up correctly. When you push the pins in, make sure the tabs clicked out to lock the pin in the hole.
