Spade Terminal Adaptor

Product Detail
A Spade Terminal Adaptor is a simple electrical connector used to bridge a standard spade or fork-shaped terminal with a more common laboratory connection type, usually a $4 \text{mm}$ banana jack. It consists of a flat, U-shaped metallic fork that secures under a screw or binding post, and an insulated body containing the $4 \text{mm}$ socket. This adapter is essential for conveniently and safely connecting a test lead (with a banana plug) to equipment or components that only have screw-type or spade-lug connection points, allowing for versatile and quick hook-ups without having to permanently change the wiring.
