Sorry for the confusion, I made the converter some time ago. When I was
creating the webpage I checked what sets were required to make the conversion.
If you buy/have the 12V signal set you have all the 12V components required to
make create the convertor and make the whole signal work.

soldering is required, the 12V connectors use screws) The hard part was that I
cut the wires a little too short to handle, but once it was connected the
result was great, so now I make almost all my converters like this :-)
