perhaps someone here can give me a hand. i am trying to wire a fan with a switch, but i can't figure out a few questions. i stopped by radioshack and one of the people there helped me get a few items. i have the power supply cord, a switch, and connector clips. below are a few pictures of everything. my plan is to have the connection order go: fan, wire, on/off switch, wire, power supply cord. i have the connector clips on the fan (picture 1). i need to connect the wire to the clips. do i just strip the cord a little bit, insert the wire part into the connector clips, and tape the cord and connector clips (using electrical tape)? my next question is about connecting the power supply cord to the on/off switch. i was told that i solder the power supply cord to the on off switch's connectors (picture 2). does it matter which side of the wire, hot (black) or neutral (white), gets soldered to which connector? am i supposed to attach the power cord before soldering?
any and all help will be appreciated. i am unfamiliar with electrical wiring, so i would like to get this right the first time. thanks.!
