Just got these in from banggood and they work like a champ.. really nice fit.  I actually got them to use as plugs for my speakers instead but they work great on this too

The wire end could be a bit better but nothing some solder cant fix

Yeah I think i spent an hour looking on the internet for something that would match Siglent's females lol  and then if they didnt.. who cares i needed em for my speakers anyway

I think the side hole is a cool feature too.. check out the cheapie I stuffed into it.. its tight too... using these plugs might be a much more cost effective way to deal with their posts.  But you can see from the pic, the wire space is not the greatest.. i'll need to wire clean it and glob some flux in to get it to suck itself down.. just isnt much there to work with :(  Does come with a cheesy tiny set screw..  no free lunch.

Edit: holy shit i made this image way to big by mistake lol

They looks like very poor copycat of Hirschmann Buela 30 K (what original is also rated for 30A). Specially I look these spring wires. Perhaps they are not right material and also when look shape it looks like they do not have right spring force bias (what is difficult if material is soft)  But of course still works (least when they are new) lot of better than "what ever el cheapo"  american style plugs (american style = short plug) what we have seen lot of in some pictures around this binding post case.

This is designed more like for European type long banana plug. Banana was originally launched 1924 by Richard Hirschmann GmbH & Co and also General Radio introduced same kind of plug known as type 274 for america around same time.
Gen Rad 1963 Vol 37 No. 12:

  And these Genrad plugs are really short.

It is really pity in electronics world that lack of standards is very common. There is not any real common standards for banana plug. There is american style and european style and all bewtween these and outside of these.  If I do different I'm not wrong. All can do what ever binding posts and plugs and name it "banana plug". No real standards. Yes there are some common practices, one is dimension around 4mm (without anything about tolerances) and for double plug pitch 3/4 inch from Genrad.

Yeah I'll end up most likely importing some genuine Hirschmann ones for more precision work if i dont just use the post clamp itself. Newark wants to import from their UK warehouse and slap an over priced shipping fee on it and i didnt need them that bad for the primary reason I actually ordered them which was to use on my avr/speakers.

These knock offs good enough for now
