agilent U8002A output banana plug

[Oracle]

 Hi,

Where can i find some 4mm banana plug fitting the output of this power supply?

[codeboy2k]

everywhere.

ebay

ok, but some of that don't fit the output: the problem is i need something shorter than that plugs.... i already have some banana plug like that, but don't actually  fit the psu: it's more than 2 mm out....

Maybe if there is a 4mm banana plug 2 mm length it may suit the socket...

Sure the issue is with the plugs? The binding posts on the U8002A pretty much look like "standard" chinese rubbish binding posts. Those often tend to be not deep enough for whatever reason (saving a few pennies in materials?).

A normal banana plug has a 20 mm long pin. So measure your plugs pin length and the depth of the binding posts. This will tell you which one is rubbish.

In general, if it is just 2 mm I would live with the plugs sticking out.

I measured the plug: as you said it's 20mm long. The biding posts are less than 15 mm deep, same as a breadboard like this:

where can I find some cables/adapter fitting that biding posts is still a mystery....

I have some around, if you really want I can measure them if the datasheet is too confusing.

aaaaand ... they're not. The agilent binding posts are made by a company in the Us. same company supplies to pomona ( and others )
they are VERY expensive. i had to buy a few to repair a supply that had the post broken off ( the supply fell of a shelf onto the bench and it cracked the post off ). they are 15$ a pop ...

15$ for a binding post 5mm short? That doesn't happen to be a Danaher-owned company?

Is there really "one true standard" ?? I've seen 11mm, 14mm, 15mm, 20mm, 33mm

The majority I have here at home are 14-15mm, and these are from the 70s.  If there was a standard I think it would have been set early.

yes. I was looking for a plug like that. Thanks.

I know. I was shocked too. But yes, the original agilent binding posts are that expensive.

unbelievable.... That's why an agilent equipment gear costs so much.

Try $69.00 each for IET labs Telurium copper low emf <50µOhm resistance binding posts. Now $15.00 sounds like a bargain.

[Oracle]

yes, but that is a particular posts, make sense the price...
