DSC04157.jpg (30459 bytes)Materials:   

1.  One meter Cable with 5.5 mm x 2.1 male connector.  Conrad 1.07 EUR   A 90° male adapter would be better than the straight, if you can find one. 

2.  9V clip battery clip with removable cover  Conrad 0.40 EUR (there are others from other suppliers).    The Conrad part is a soft plastic and melts more easily when soldering

3.   Solder and soldering iron.

Remove cover from 9V clip

DSC04160.jpg (23363 bytes)9V clips with crimped terminals can have a nickel coating, which makes soldering difficult.     Remove nickel coating with a small stone wheel, or round tipped file.   .

 

 

 

 

 

 

DSC04161.jpg (28428 bytes)Plastic clips tend to melt easily.   Use a battery as a heat sink while soldering, else your terminal might melt through the plastic!

 

 

 

 

 

 

DSC04163.jpg (26641 bytes)Tin the terminals with a little bit of solder.   Be careful of how much heat you use and how long it is on the clip.   They melt easily!

 

 

 

 

 

 

DSC04164.jpg (31106 bytes)Thread the cable through the center slot.  The  stripped (+) cable goes on the crown shaped terminal on the clip.   The all black (-) goes on the round terminal of the clip.  (the battery of course is just the opposite)

Quickly solder the wires onto the terminals.   Have something to hold the wire in contact with the  terminal so you can do this quickly, with little heat.
