9V battery connectors
Many of us old timers recycle battery connectors.
When you “Fall Back” (go to daylight savings time) and replace your smoke detector batteries, salvage the connector.
I have been caught several times by newly purchased battery connectors becoming intermittent; I therefore often use recycled connectors.
Solder 20 AWG wires to these and apply a few dabs of silicone glue for insulating. IMHO wire with silicone insulation is best.
Tin the wires and the back of the terminals before soldering them together.
Newer 9-volt connectors are made of plastic, so you must quickly solder wires to the terminals.
ALWAYS confirm the polarity of your terminals, the positive male battery terminal fits to the female ‘project’ connector terminal which is what we are making above.
