    Better to cut some extra length and after soldering trim to the desired length on both sides.
  2. Make bevels on the guide ends for easy insertion.
  3. Solder pogo pins. Use suitable spacer to line up the pins.
  4. Strip 2mm of insulation from the wires, twist and tin.
  5. Run stripped side of the wires through 4.5mm Heat-shrink tubing and the top PCB, then solder to the bottom PCB pads.

Wire joints

  1. Align the heat-shrink with the case's wire entry undercut and shrink.
  2. Insert the assembly into one half of the case; apply CA glue to the case pegs, put on second half, gently squeeze the thing in a vise, and let the glue to cure.
  3. Put 6mm heat-shrink tubing over bottom PCB and wire joints, then shrink.
