Step 5Inserting the contacts.
Once the wires are all soldered to the contacts and the resistors fitted inline you can insert the contacts into the socket housing. You will see that there is a little rectangular window on the side of the socket housing and a matching spring lip on the contact. When the contact is slid into the housing it should click into place and the lip should stop it from being pulled back out again.
The housings usually have pin one marked with a number "1" and I tend to make that the positive connection.
Don't worry if you put the contact in the wrong place, since you can remove them by carefully pushing down the little spring lip in the window and then sliding the contact back out. If you push it down too hard and it doesn't spring back up again, you can gently tease it back up with the tip of a sharp knife.
