Battery Power - All Electronics Plug Wiring Fix

TWO PIN CONNECTORS

Thanks to Stan Cedarleaf who alerted us to the fact that the Aristo-Craft and All Electronics, two-pin connectors are not colour coded the same.

As many devices such as battery packs, battery chargers, 27 MHz receivers, etc. are polarity sensitive, you should change the wires on these connectors over to colour match the Aristo-Craft connectors by following these simple steps.

For the male connector, insert a thin pin into the connector above the metal terminal. This depresses a small tab on the back of the terminal and allows it to be withdrawn by pulling gently on the wire.

Note: If the end of the pin is blunted by sanding, filing or reversing it in the pin head, it is easier to flatten the tab.

For the female connector, depress the small tab on the back of the metal terminal and gently pull on the wire to remove it. Some require a firmer pull than others.
