Product Detail
A 4 MM Socket or Jack, often known as a binding post or banana jack, is a standardized electrical terminal widely used in educational and professional electrical equipment. This component is designed to provide a secure and reliable point for connecting test leads that are terminated with a 4 mm banana plug. It consists of a conductive metallic contact housed within an insulating body, which is mounted onto a panel, breadboard, or power supply. The jack ensures a low-resistance connection while its insulation promotes safety by preventing accidental contact with live current, making it an essential interface for modular circuit assembly and instrumentation.
