[time-nuts] MS3106R10SL-4S connector question

If you are using both wires of a two-pin connector the question is moot.

There are exquisitely detailed docs on connector assembly out there, both
from the manufacturers and agencies like NASA. They include everything
from tool settings, proper locators, to assembly torques.

IMO, unless you are building a spacecraft or somesuch, solder in your
wires, assemble the connector, and be happy.

You can spend years learning about mil connectors.

YMMV,
