I got an email back from Van Caf� and they suggest gently bending the
opposing terminals inward and fitting the original connector on to the
terminals. The third terminal is unused and sits behind the connector.  I
did a little extra and heated the plastic connector while wedging the
contacts out, then let it setup while cooling.  Done!

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.
