Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns ‍

 What is the difference between the plastic and rubber-style housings? The hard plastic (ABS) housings offer a more rigid, industrial feel, while the flexible PVC/rubberized housings provide better strain relief and a softer grip for frequent handling. Both offer the same high-quality 4mm electrical contact.

Can these be used for high-end audio speakers? Yes, they are a standard choice for home theater systems. For the absolute best signal integrity, we also offer Gold-Plated Banana Plugs which resist long-term oxidation better than nickel-plated versions.

 Do I need to strip my wires to use these? Yes, you will need to strip approximately 10mm of insulation from your wire. You can then either feed the bare copper through the side-hole and tighten the housing (solderless) or solder it directly to the internal pin.
