4mm Banana Plugs Right Angle 6 Pairs, 24k Gold Plated 90 Degree Speaker Connector (12Pcs)

If you have the room to do a 90 degree turn off your amp's five way binding posts, these banana connector will save you at least 1 1/2 inches of back room. You can easily fit 14 gauge wires. The dual nuts make for a very sturdy connection and likely better conduction. The overall design also eliminates the possibility of shorts -something that can be an issue with 99% of all audio amplifiers. The banana proper is not solid, instead it's made from a number of "fingers" that compress inwards as you push into the connection... so it makes a good solid connection and will not slip out on its own or when you pull on the cable while dressing its path. Now then, It is not too tight either, so it's easy enough to push and pull when you need it. I actually like the way the plastic sleeve fits over the connector and how the connection is made that I would like to get these in a straight connector as well. A very nice design, and I've been playing with speaker cables since, oh, the early 70s...

Often the backs of your speaker or amp are close to the wall and the right angle banana plug avoids taking up more space than necessary behind the speaker or amp. These seem to be made of gold plated brass with two brass set screws in each plug to firmly hold the wire end. They come with insulating sleeves that push up over the part that gets the wire to avoid the possibility of shorting out the signals. The insulating sleeves like the picture shows come red and black to indicate the polarity. The insulating sleeve appear to be a somewhat stretchy PVC sleeve. If you use large wire, especially if you tin the ends with solder, the set screw heads stick up a bit and it’s not that easy to slide the insulating sleeves up. On the other hand they are not liable to slip off. If you cannot get the sleeves over the screw heads you might need to use appropriately colored tape or shrink tubing. I used 14 gage speaker wire that I tinned the ends with solder and with some difficulty I was able to slide the insulating sleeves up onto the end. These bananas are made to fit pretty tightly into the typical binding post end. That ensures a good connection but you do have to push with some force to insert them. Mercifully the set screws are already screwed into the fitting, you just have to unscrew them enough to insert your wire. I bought some straight bananas that came with all the set screws in a little bag. What a pain that was with several speaker connections and fat fingers. But these do not have that issue. The quality seems excellent for these right angle bananas and they are made to accommodate larger wires And make a very good connection to the typical binding post center hole.

These worked well for wiring our speakers to our receiver using 12 AWG stranded wire. The two fastening screws on each made secure mechanical and electrical connection to the wire. The plugs were sturdy and fit snugly into the jacks on the speakers and receiver making good electrical connection. In the past, I fastened the wire using the binding posts on the spkrs and receiver, but gave this a try this time and am satisfied with the results. .

These were nicely made, unfortunately some of the speakers I wanted them for didn't accommodate the right angle feature well, due to the recessed nature of the connection point. But unlike some other banana plugs I've used, the straight ones I have now for example, these didn't have a whole sleeve that unscrewed to tighten the wire in, they had set screws inside. Making it much easier to secure the wire without the tightening itself cutting off some of the strands. Solidly made.

I used 12 pairs for our new audio system and they work very well. I was looking for a right angle banana plug and was glad I choose these.

I like these right angle banana plugs because they are easy to install (two set screws in the barrel make for a sure connection to any piece of wire you can stick into them), they fight tight into the 5-way binding post (very tight), and are very sturdy. The fact that the plastic sleeves fit over the set screws assures the screws will never back out on their own. The plugs come packaged in two plastic bags inside of a very utilitarian box (adorned with a nice little logo) along with a couple extra set screws in case you lose one. Highly recommended.

Great connectors and well made. I have used these over and over for my system and my sons, with no problems

Bought these to replace ends on speaker cables, one pair of which had its ends broken off because the speaker had been pushed up against a baseboard. The right angle design solved this breakage problem. These are easy to put on, and look neat.
