Best to retain a connector shell if you can, but mostly for when it's
not plugged in.  If you can find a shell that has the right
configuration and takes Fast-on terminals you can transfer them
over.  Ask Van-Cafe what they do.

If necessary (and possible) just pull one terminal and zip-tie it to
the other so it's plain they're meant to be together.  The switch
doesn't care which wire goes to which terminal.

Yrs,
