8Pcs 4mm Banana Plug Male Connector Gold Plate Solder Type for Multimeter Test Leads Speaker Wire Cable RC Lipo Battery Charger Adapter

Solved my needs for a fair price. No wonder Radio Shack went out of business.

No issues at all with quality, very easy to solder wire to the leads and no issues with anything. Nice tight fit in the plug. Would recommend.

I wanted to solder my wires to the banana plugs, so I chose this product over any screw-on connection designs. Yes, it takes more time to assemble than just stripping the wires and using a screwdriver, but I believe a better connection is made with soldering. With a screw design - oxidation can occur over time, screws can come loose, wires can fray and then break, etc. NOTE: other reviewers have mentioned this, but I still think it’s worth the effort for a plug that ends up costing $1 each! You *will* have to use heat to remove and then subsequently reattach the plastic sheath. More often than not, you should also use crazy glue when reattaching the plastic sheath. I used crazy glue on all of mine anyway just to be sure.

I purchased these so I could make up some custom leads for my benchtop power supply. Other parts I used: 14GA Twisted CCA Wire: B095C5DFYX Banana Plugs: B0897LB83Z Banana-Plug compatible alligator clips: B07R4ZNBF5 These sockets work well. They have a firm grip on the plugs and are compatible with the 14GA, though just barely, I had to twist it quite tightly, tin it, and then solder it in place. If I were to try again, I might purchase the kind of banana jack with the threaded terminal screw instead. But I knew these didn't have that when I ordered them, so no biggie. Soldering them onto the wire was a little tricky but nothing patience and flux couldn't solve. Would recommend for permanent fixtures, but maybe go for the ones with a terminal screw to make your life easier.

Using these to make up terminal specific test leads to be used with fluke 4mm probes. Working just fine for me.

Nice banana plugs, but there's a straight section between the body and the expanded spring section. If you use them on panel-mount or board mount jacks that aren't full length the expanded section goes all the way through and the straight section doesn't make a good connection. They work fine on most test equipment.

These banana plugs were very easy to get soldered up and are a great fit for my power supply.

I bought 3 brands of banana plugs, and these are the only ones that fit tightly into both my speakers (Paradigm) and my amplifiers (McIntosh). The others (Amazon Basics and Monoprice Affinity) both move a bit in and out, after being plugged in. These are tight. And being soldered,.. there will e no corrosion at the inner connection, and they aren't ever going to pull out. These have to be soldered, but if you're ordering these,.. you're hopefully ready for that. The area where the wire goes is one sided,.. so careful holding in a small vice helps. Once held steady with the wire hanging just so,.. I used by torch to put bit of heat into the banana to speed up the soldering process,.. then finished the job with the soldering iron. Unlike some other reviewers,.. I had no trouble at all getting the outer sleeve on. Perhaps it helped that I did this while the banana was still warm from soldering?

Decent quality for the price
