The triangular end of the connector is the positive end, and the receptacle with female pins, is on the cable connected to the power source (battery, power supply, cigarette lighter plug). (The receptacle is the connector that fits inside the plug, and has the pins closely surrounded by plastic; the plug is more of a shell, with the two pins exposed inside.) ______ _____ | ||----/\ /\ \____ | |/___/ \ / \____|___\ | | | _ | | __| | | RED + ====[FUSE]=====| | |(_)| |(__| | |========== RED + | | | _ | | __| | | BLK - ===============| | |(_)| |(__| | |========== BLK - | | | | | | | | +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+ Power Source Female pins Male pins Load Receptacle Plug /mike
