Review on πŸ’ͺ Enhanced ATX Benchtop PC Power Breakout Adapter with USB 5V Port: Version 20/24 Pins by Angel Scully

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There is no banana in these corks!

The circuit board works and is well made and the price is very reasonable. So good at all of this. However, the connector pins are NOT "banana jack" mounting posts. In fact, there isn't even a through hole in the mounting post - it's just a tiny 10-40 screw with a very small metal shoulder on it, and there's a lot of plastic around. They are very small and very poorly made. I was struggling to make connections and found that unlike any other connection post I've ever used, the base is not all metal so you can pinch a wire in the post and have no connection because there is only one very small metal ring there. next to a small post screw - even with a spatula I had trouble making the connection. If you then press on the connector post, the plastic will begin to peel away from the top of the post. And you can't just replace them with regular banana jack mounting pins because the holes are too small to fit directly into them (or at least one of the holes I have). Luckily in my build I can remove those useless terminals and connect them directly to the PCB that contains the V/A meters, switches and REAL banana mounting terminals. revise.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and chunky
