No it doesn't.

There's no way to get 2 female connectors to mate pin 1 to pin 1.


There are two types of connctors. One AMP and one other, i think ansley,
but i'm not shure. They use different pins for the stiped wire.
As long as you dont mix brands, you have no problems.
But it can be used to switch pins.


Actually there are three kinds of connectors for this application and
they are color-coded (black, blue and grey).
