HIGHROCK 20 Banana Speaker Wire Cable Screw Plugs Connectors 4mm

As separate pieces, the gold finish is clean, the fingers that fit into the banana jack are loose on the metal body, but fit tightly into the jack and do not show evidence of making a loose connection. The set screw tightens well onto the wire. There is no strain relief, I would suggest shrink tubing or tape on the wire as it exits the plug. The plastic appears a bit cheap with flash from the mold evident, but seems adequate.

Perfect for my needs. Easy to place wire and screw it down. Used these in my receiver when I got tired of screwing the wires into the receiver connector. These banana plugs made my wiring much better and easier to do. Cheap, and they do what I need...what else could I ask for?

These are definitely not the highest quality. The screw is double duty - it holds the conductor in the connector and the cover on the connector. Depending on the size of the conductor, this can get messy. I planned on soldering wires into the plugs which works but you have to be careful you dont use too much solder or you cant screw the cover on. The diameter of the plug end is not controlled very well. I had to squeeze several of them down to make them right. These are the cheapest out there though so I can't really complain.

These banana plugs have a manufacturing design flaw. Do not buy. The center pins holding the plugs together are not well secured to the rest of the plug. When removing the plugs from my 5 channel receiver (to move it from the dry-run set-up on my kitchen counter to the permanent location in the entertainment center), 4 of the 10 plug ends remained inside the receivers speaker terminals. Needed needle-nose pliers to remove. Checking the remaining six, several of pins were loose from the reset of the plug body. Bad product design with poor manufacturing quality control. Severely defective.

Would have given 2.5 starts if I could.not sure they deserve a 2.Quality is , well, what do you expect for the price.Go to mouser and pay a lot more and as much in shipping for the quality of an item I'd use in my lab for work.For my hobby tinkering, figured I'd give these a try.As others reported...The screw is too short for most normal size speaker wire.With the large barrel for the wire to go into, the short and small diameter screw, the strands of the wire will get pushed into the rest of the void, and really not make a good connection.Seems best to double up and solder the strands into a mass, so the screw has enough to bite into and strands wont get pushed out and freed from the bundle.But I'm not using these for speakers, but for small charging cables from an RC peak charger.I put a crimp barrel lug on the end of the wire.Removed the screw and the plastic jack cover.I soldered the wire barrel lug on the wall inside the jack's barrel of where the wire is suppose to go, opposite the hole for the screw.Than put the cover back on, put the screw in and tighten it. Should last fine.I don't trust the screw only. The wall of the Jacks barrel is thin, there isn't much of a threaded area that the screw threads into.I guess we'll find out after a few uses, if the "springyness" of the cage that makes the connection in to the socket retains it's "sprinyness" to continue to cause proper tension , for a good connection.Out of the bag, they do form a very tight fit.Yea, much prefer the ones that have no screw and you must solder.But in a pinch these work, more so if you want the extra set of holes in the jack for a meter.

I was tired of pulling speaker cables out and having the wire end be all frayed. This totally cleans up the back of my receiver and by the speakers so it's much easier to move them and clean behind them.

These plugs work very well for the price. I am no audiophile but I do like to get the most of my entertainment system. Up until buying these, I was simply screwing the wires directly to the back of my receiver. This was not only difficult to do with all the different wires connected to the equipment, but it also did not provide the best contact. I was able to notice a slight but real difference in my speaker output once these were installed.

This style and brand of banana clips are difficult to install and cheap. Firstly they only have 1 tiny screw, it doesn't hold the wire securely place and often the wire comes out. 2nd when removing the plug they can break. The tip becomes separated from the base and is left in the speaker hole.. I had 3 break.. I do not recommend this product..

Not flimsy like some others. Screw-terminals nice and tight. Very happy.

Not a premium quality product

OK

Good
