24k Gold Connector Banana Plugs, Open Screw Type 24 Pack (12 Red, 12 Black)

Product Description

Ensure the best connection bewteen your speaker cable and your receiver unit with these open-screw banana plugs. Banana plugs also ensure that you'll only have to wire your speakers up once, rather than stuff the unterminated speaker cable into your receiver and hope that it never comes out.

Easy To Install

Banana plugs make installing speakers much easier. Instead of unscrewing the connectors in the back of your receiver and wrapping the speaker conductor around those screws, utilize the banana plug holes with these banana plugs.

Attaching the banana plug to the speaker itself is easy. These open faced banana plugs allow you to simply feed some of the bare copper conductor into the hole and clamp it down with the screw.

Daisy Chain

Each banana plug also features a female banana plug connection on the bottom, allowing you to connect multiple speakers from a single speaker output. This serves as a splitter, allowing you to mirror the sound as many times as necessary.


  • High quality, 24k Gold Connectors
  • For bare wire, spades or other banana plugs.
  • For 18 to 12 AWG speaker wires
  • Color coded black/red rings
  • Corrosion resistant

5.0 out of 5 stars Great quality, great price, July 2, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: 24k Gold Connector Banana Plugs, Open Screw Type 24 Pack (12 Red, 12 Black) (Electronics)
I looked all over for banana plugs that were of decent quality, did not require crimping or soldering, and did not cost a fortune. Stop looking and get these.
What's really funny is you can get ones similar to this for $.01 from other vendors, but then they ding you $5 per plug for shipping (no, not per shipment or per pair, per plug).

The photos are accurate. The base and the tip are screws, so maybe they make smaller tips? Regardless, they don't come loose. I guess you can feed skinny wire through the bottom like the picture shows, but I used the hole in the side for my 12 gauge wire. It fit with no problems and I snipped off the excess after screwing it down. My receiver is more suited to the skinny tips, but I was able to make these fit with no real problems. If you have a 5.1 system, then this set is all you need. You won't find a better deal (WITH shipping only $20).

Originally Amazon showed this as taking over three weeks, but ordered it... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Works as adversised!! Great Price!! Do you really need them?, July 8, 2011

This review is from: 24k Gold Connector Banana Plugs, Open Screw Type 24 Pack (12 Red, 12 Black) (Electronics)
I bought these Bannana plugs mostly because they looked cool. They can make a good connection, however you should use 12 Gauge speaker wire. I used 16 Gauge and it was O.K. but I had to fold the wire and twist it. This made a good connection difficult on the first few attempts. Practice does help as the last few I made were much better than the first attempts. If you use 12 Guage speaker wire I would think it would be very easy to get a very tight connection. Now that being said, I have a new Yamaha Reciever and Polk Series 2 40 monitors for my front speakers and Polk Monitor 2 series 30 monitors for my rear and a Polk CS-10 center channel. All of the speakers are wired with these Bannana Plugs. The Reciever is not(I'm waiting for some 12 gauge wire before I pull out the Reciever and rewire the whole system.)Now that being said I personally do not see any advantage sound wise in using these plugs or any others for that matter. The connections no matter how good you make them with any... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great device, saved me time with hookups, April 27, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: 24k Gold Connector Banana Plugs, Open Screw Type 24 Pack (12 Red, 12 Black) (Electronics)
This is a great little device, easy to add to your speaker cable and once in, it makes your life so much easier.
I had to move my 5:1 wires around after I bought a new receiver as the cables were not labeled and it has been 10 years since initial installation.

Of course when I wired my speakers, they were crossed (right/left, center) and also out of phase, it was effortless to just move them around, if I had to wired it in, it would have taken me a very long and frustrated time to do this.

I give it 4 stars only because it is bit cheaper quality then other brands, you need to make sure your wire is long enough to thread in and bend over and tighten it down, make sure you also tighten the top piece as it is also screwed in and it can be loose and cause intermittent connection.
