Name of connectors on Digital Multimeters

Jan 21, 2005 6 Replies

Hi all,



I'm trying to buy connectors but the local stores I visited don't provide them and I cannot buy them online because I don't know how they are called.



Those are the ones one can find on digital multimeters, you know, the two big red sockets where one plugs the test electrodes. It's like a banana plug with a sheath.



Also, do you have any suggestion about an online store (based in the US).



Thanks a lot, Tony



Banana. For dual bananas the spacing is 3/4"

4mm shrouded plugs/sockets.

Retractable shrouded 4mm plugs.

part number 972-423 (Red) and 972-411 (Black).

Be careful though. There is a very slight difference between the id of a US banana socket (5/32"?) and a European 4mm socket. It means that if they are mixed wrongly it is possible for the spring on the retracting shroud to keep popping the plug out of the socket.

There is Farnell, Chicago, and they also own a US distributor who will supply against Farnell part numbers. But I can't remeber the name.

Doesn't Newark Electronics supply Farnell parts?

That was it. Thanks.
