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. 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.
