🔧 Assembly guide
- Unscrew the insulating cover from the connector.
- Slide the cable through the cover before soldering.
- Strip about 3–5 mm from each conductor.
- Use a multimeter to identify the terminal connected to the centre contact and the one connected to the outer sleeve.
- Solder the wires according to the polarity you need.
- Check that no loose copper strand can cause a short circuit.
- Close the cover, then check the output voltage with a multimeter.
⚠️ Centre-positive is common, but some devices use reverse polarity. Always check the polarity symbol shown on the equipment.
