They just slide into one another. The housings are all identical, except for the colors. Two sides have male slides, and the other two have female. If you have enough of them, and enough reason, you can set up arrays of them for a system like a modular electronics board.

EDIT* Looking at the website they look pretty expensive. $7.10 for a package of 10 for 10 gauge wire? Thats kinda expensive for a team on a tight budget.

Yeah, they aren't exactly cheap, but personally, I like having the convenience of such an easy connection. The crimper was bought by a former teammate, I can't say how much it cost, exactly, but I think I recall him saying it was around $250 (that's how they get ya... :/).
Anyway, if you can get past the costs, I think they're great for wiring.
