Here is a picture of mine.  They have the same thread on both ends and it fits the Siglent.

 I just thought I'd let you (and anyone else reading this topic) know that those M6 binding post kits arrived this morning (just ten days after placing my order - even swifter than the first lot!) and they're the spitting image of the one you'd posted.

 As far as can tell, mine appear to have come from the same factory. They're a good fit on the SDL 1000 binding posts allowing firm contact with the thinnest of spade tags (or even 0.2mm wire) without packing washers. I checked the depth of the binding nuts against the Siglent's binding post length which proved to be about half a millimeter shy of bottoming out. You only need to make use of the washers to allow full penetration of the banana plug (and even without, you still get a good firm contact anyway - the resulting 2mm gap is really more a matter of how it looks).

 The nice thing I did notice about these binding nuts is that their slightly smaller diameter makes it noticeably easier to spin them on and off with the flats offering a better grip to tighten them up or slacken them off. Overall, a useful upgrade over the original binding nuts. :)

P.S. To save anyone having to search the topic thread, here's a link to the seller I'd bought mine from :-

I got today the suggested binding posts. They came unfortunately on the slow boat from China. It took some weeks….
But they fit perfect, thanks for the advice!
Since I used the fork like 4 mm binding posts Johnny has shown on the photo  (and I will use them further) no additional washer is needed.

Johnny B Good:
 Spacing washers are not actually needed unless you're stressed out by their "not fully inserted" appearance. ::)

 Those binding post nuts are designed to allow banana jacks to be fully inserted even when you leave substantially heavy duty cable lugs attached to the binding posts. On closer scrutiny, banana jacks will fully engage the socket with another 4 or 5 mm to spare before they bottom out and It's quite obvious (now!) as to why they'd been designed that way.  That look of not being fully inserted when no spacing washers are fitted isn't a bug, it's a design feature! :)

It has suddenly got all these white horizontal lines on the display.  Turning it off and letting it cool down overnight did not do any good.  Leaving it on overnight to fully warm up did not do any good.

Is this something that can be fixed with a little adjustment or is this a return to Siglent thing?

My 6 month old Load is starting to look like this one.
Is this a known display problem?

I have one that is quite a number of years old now and don't have any problems.  You both have quite new meters, I would 100% do a warranty return on, 6 months is nothing, must be some new part they are using on the newer models that are sub-standard (my opinion ofc).
