Be aware that these rubber female and male connectors can rotate inside the barrel of the rubber casing. In my case, the 20 degree rotation caused a strong short with melting of a pin. I would use a permanent marker of some sort to mark where the edge of the rubber and metal barrel should align. Short was so strong that I had to use a file to reshape the pin.
