Sometime back (can't find the post!) there was a discussion on using these edge / pcb connectors to fabricate 2, 3, or more conductor male / female connectors. Based on that discussion, I bought several and now I am ready to use them. However, the details are not obvious or are lost in my fading memory. Two questions:
1) the male parts have nice break off indentations and it is simple to break them in groups of 2, 3 or whatever. the female parts do not break cleanly. is there a trick or did I buy the wrong items? How do I separate the female elements?
2) the connection pins for the wires are the small protrusions in the pictures- I assume the typical approach to connect a wire is to have good soldering skills and solder the wire to these small pins along with some heat shrink tubing. Is this correct or are there other methods?
Thoughts welcome!
