What is the correct name for the old style test lead plugs that used to be used on older inexpensive VOMs? They were NOT banana plugs. They were thinner. Same size as the test probes, but much shorter.
I need to get a few of these for some older test gear, but I am not sure what to search for....
Thanks
I always called those "Pin Plugs".
I searched for "pin plug test lead -banana"

"Old pinballers never die, they just flip out."
Thats what I called them too, but I did not think that was the "official" name.
Thanks
Look for "tip plugs" and "tip jacks".
Ah, better name!
Oh course I've never quite figured out why Banana plugs are named after the banana, they don't actually look much like a banana. More like a zucchini. Its the curve that is in the banana but not the jack!

Because of the four spring strips on the side look like banana peels.

It's the peel splitting into four AFAIR.
