Title: What's the name of these plugs?
Post by: camurgo on November 10, 2018, 04:33:23 pm

Hello,
Does anyone know the name of the connectors shown at 1:40 of this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y5wjaNusr0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y5wjaNusr0)
They allow you to connect one plug atop the other (as done at 1:51). I know they're not that uncommon, I want to buy a few, but I have to know their names in order to search for them...
Thanks.

Stackable banana plugs is what you should search.

There are still heaps of different types, so I would suggest google image searching that and see what ones catch your eye

Looks like just ordinary stackable 4mm banana connectors. They come in several different varieties, but keywords "stackable banana" should be correct. I did find some that look identical on aliexpress with just a quick search.

E: I think the ones in the video might be called "gun type" banana plugs.

DigiKey stocks the Pomona brand 'stackable banana plug jumpers' and I use them a LOT

Not all of them have the pass thru on top, just search around.

Also, Banana plug stack-able:
