E-Z-Hook banana connectors too large
(1/1)
nedeb:
I bought a bunch of Pomona and E-Z-Hook cables for my "lab". The banana connectors from Pomona fit well in all devices but the E-Z-Hook plugs seem too large, they're hard to insert in devices to the point that I'm afraid of damaging the device connectors.

Is it a known thing? Are these E-Z-Hook banana plugs not meant for plugging in DMMs, PSUs, etc?

(To be accurate I should say the E-Z-Hook are too rigid rather than too large: according to my caliper the plugs are only 4.6mm thick compared to 4.8mm for the Pomona).

Hi,

You mean those plugs, right ?

They should fit on 4mm sockets well, with a little bit of "force" because of the spring loaded tip.
Unfortunately some sockets are having more depth than other....
I think the only "standard" are the 4mm diameter...

I like Johnson (Cinch) banana plugs.  I have used them for many years.

I have cables with stackable plugs so this one:

but it seems the male connector is exactly the same as for the 9202 plug.

Thanks for the picture, good to know the socket lengths are not standard!

The E-Z-Hooks don't feel as bad now, maybe I got used to it already... A little twist helps a lot when it's a bit tight.
