10 Sets of Retractable Sheath 4mm Banana Plug Connectors: Stackable Wire Solder Multimeter Test Leads with Banana Plug Adapters and Jack Sockets Review

They are a bit expensive but still worth the money. They are fairly easy to work with and fairly durable. Using heavier gauge wire is generally not suitable, so stick to 14AWG or lower. I tried 12AWG and it was too much. If you use a solid conductor you are even more limited. However, a good fork with good performance. I would recommend them.

The spring is too strong and the plug is not long enough. In particular, if you pull it from the socket just a little bit, it pops out completely. The Pomona connectors need to be pulled out much further before they fall out. The jack portion does not accept shielded banana plugs. This can be seen in the photo if you look closely, but that's an odd oversight as they're kind of shielded. I call it "type of shield" because the shield is a custom diameter, which means it will retract even if you…

Agree with other commenters I would add a few thoughts on this product to consider: 1. If you are using a smaller gauge wire, enlarge a piece Heat shrink tubing over the insulator to fill the diameter and fill the lead wire clamp and provide some strain/flex relief.2. Yes, the wire could be fixed better here. If you solder it, pay attention to how it fits back into the connector, heat the other end to prevent the safety plastic tip from melting, use a good flux and ram the heat, it will stick…

* The tips are quite flexible, with a large number of springy "leaves" and a good relief cut. no problem.* The retractable jacket rides on its own metal spring and easily slides out of the way when inserted into an unshielded or non-standard jack.* The cable entry hole in the connector body is serrated to keep the insulation on the cable. This is where I got confused. I bought several 18AWG silicone covered wires with an overall diameter of 2.3mm to fit into these connectors. Unfortunately…
