![]() I have a modest HT system I'm setting up (14M, 25C, 12SWi, 14S), with an older Denon receiver with spring clips (don't laugh) that I'm using temporarily, as my older receiver gave up the ghost. Kind of depends on how I'm going to position the speakers in my home. I can either pop the cap off of the end of the post, and use that, or use the opening at the base of the post. Makes me wonder if there is a "standard" size for bananas, and if so, would they be too large for my speakers. Older Monster mini bananas work, but wont accept the 12G speaker wire. There seems to be a few different options, diameter-wise, for the plug end themselves, and so I want to get the size right before I buy. (any suggestions as to decent plugs would be appreciated). I'm trying to terminate my 12 gauge speaker cable, and have been looking at high quality banana plugs as an option. If so, please post a link that I might follow.Īre the 5-way binding posts universal, size wise, across most of the Klipsch line? This subject may very well have been discussed before. ![]() When working with voltage above 50V it is a very good idea to use this type of test cable for better safety.My 1st post on the Forums. These test leads looks good, the resistance is low, but there can be some contact resistance. It do have fairly many thin strands, making the cable flexible. This means if at any time there is a scratch on the cable that looks white, it is time to replace the cable. It is not high temperature resistant, a solder iron at 150☌ can mark it, at 350☌ it will slowly melt the isolation.įor high voltage test leads I do prefer double isolation, that means two separate layers around the copper, the inner one is usual white. With my caliper I measured the outer diameter to 3.8mm. This cable can be used on mains voltage, I did a isolation test from the aluminium foil to the conductor with my usual 4242 VDC (Same as 3000 VAC) and there was no problem (I did put the foil directly across the front end of the plug). With 10A current the voltage drop increased from 1159mV to 1179mV after 15 minutes It looks like the maximum temperature increase is about 20☌, it would be about double with 15A and four times with 20A, I would be careful with anything above 15A. The contact resistance increases the temperature of the connectors. I uses 10A current for 15 minutes before taking the temperature photo. This setup was used for "Resistance" and "Front+back 10A" column. To eliminate the contact resistance I can use both ends of the plug, this way I only measure the actual cable resistance. This setup was used for "Front 10A" column. The red alligator clip supplies current and the yellow is used to measure voltage. When measuring internal resistance I use a 4 terminal setup, but this do not eliminate the resistance between the socket and the plug. The contact resistance from cable to cable is much better than to my sockets. The "All" row is all five cables plugged together in one long string, this means 5 times cable resistance and 4 times contact resistance. I measured ohm by using the "Front+back" setup, this gives the resistance of the wire and internal connection to the plug, this is 20mOhm for one cable, this gives an estimated 18AWG or 0.8mm2 for the cable. ![]() The wires are about 95cm measured from end of strain relief to strain relief at the other end (i.e. The tip is isolated, this is good when working with mains voltage. of course, also fit in the back, but the shrouded version cannot be plugged into the back of ordinary banana plugs. ![]() Other brands of banana plugs fit nicely into the back. The shroud is 19.3mm long, this is slightly short, but means it works fine with multimeters that are designed for a slightly short shroud. They are used on multimeters, power supplies and a lot of other newer test equipment. The plug are shrouded, this means they will only fit into connectors designed for that. The plastic bag do not list any specifications. Review of DANIU 1M 4mm Banana to Banana Plug Shrouded P1050 DANIU 1M 4mm Banana to Banana Plug Shrouded P1050
