Mysterious plug things

Bert Coules · 2020-01-28T17:11:13+00:00

Can anyone tell me what these are called? They're a sort of slightly odd distant cousin of the banana plug. red and black sleeves are soft plastic and pull off to reveal a hollow tube with a single grub screw; the probe-like prongs are approximately 1 mm in diameter and look as if they're designed to be cut to length if needed.I have some loudspeakers with spring-catch connectors too small to admit the speaker wire I'm using and these would serve well, but I need a few more. I can't remember when, where (or why) I acquired these, and without a proper name I've had no luck tracking down a source.Many thanks.

not really

it's already 'spoiled' by the speaker's copper resistance.

Thanks, Brian. Quite apart from these particular pins, that looks like a useful site.

You don't understand how a motor reacts to a power supply, then?
