Through-Panel-Mount Connectors
Before making a permanent connection, use these connectors to test a circuit. Also known as binding posts, they mount through panels to create a connection point.
All connectors are insulated to prevent contact with panels.
Tin-plated brass lasts the longest. Single banana jacks come with your choice of a red jack or a black jack. Double banana jacks come with one red jack and one black jack, and your choice of color for the mounting base.
Hand-held voltage ratings are the maximum tested voltage for applications where you hold a cord connected to the jack in your hands while testing. Hands-free voltage ratings are the maximum voltage the jack is rated to withstand.

High-Current Test Clips
Test equipment that draws more than 10 amps of current. These clips are spring loaded to hold tight for hands-free testing.
Toothed clips have a stronger grip but make less overall contact than toothless clips.
Alligator Clips
Spring-loaded clips create a secure temporary electrical connection for hands-free testing.
Toothed clips have a stronger grip but make less overall contact than toothless clips.
304 stainless steel clips are corrosion resistant. Copper and silver clips conduct electricity better than 304 stainless steel clips.
