Question 2

How do you aseemble the connectors? I soldered the wire to the funny looking terminal. But how do you insert that spade lug into the connector?

Accepted Answer

If you look at the end of the terminal the tip has a curved notch. The cavity in the body has a piece of thin metal that has tension to it thats angled toward the face of the cavity. Insert the terminal into the cavity and it will take a little effort because of the spring tension of the terminal lock,  but insert the terminal so that when pushed in the terminal will push down on the lock and the curved notch slides over the end of the lock and catches.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKpeCwzxlJY
