Banana Connectors

They are a special type of connector employed in making and verifying electrical connections. They are typically used to connect wires to electrical test devices or printed circuit boards. These connectors are commonly referred to as 4mm connectors since they are the standard size and are standard overall. Banana plugs are a common form of connector since they may be used everywhere and offer a quick way to build reliable connections.

In banana connections, the metal contact is made of brass that has been gold-plated. The connector has a casing made of plastic that comes in a variety of hues, including red, black, green, and yellow. We provide a range of banana connections, including banana couplers, sockets, and plugs.

What are the Types of Banana Connectors?

• Banana Plugs: They are minute cylindrical plugs that come with a unique bulged prong. A housing is used to bulge a spring while it is inserted into a socket, pressing outwards to make sure of a strong, secure connection. Its name is derived from the shape of this prong, which warns many people of a streamlined banana. When connecting your speakers to your surround receiver, banana plugs are a better option than utilizing bare wire because they may be connected without a screwdriver. You may establish a reliable and long-lasting connection with banana plugs. Banana jacks and banana plugs both refer to the 4mm version. Although the terms "mini-bananas" are used for both the 3mm and 2mm versions, they are not interchangeable. Banana plugs and jacks are available in several safety configurations as well.
• Banana Sockets: These are the female connectors. They are banana plugs for males, banana sockets, or jacks for females’ single wire. These connectors are used for making connections between devices.
• Banana Couplers: It enables you to link two pieces of wire together or expand an existing cable when executing a new installation. To create a safe and high-performing connection, connect two banana plugs into a sleeve that joins both ends.

What is the Difference Between Shrouded and Unshrouded Banana Plugs?

Test plugs for bananas might be shrouded, unshrouded, or equipped with a retractable handle. Banana plugs without a shroud are a typical variety. When working with high-voltage circuits, a veiled banana plug is required. To avoid unintentional touch, the shrouding acts as a covering.
