The picture below is an example of screw type banana. De-pihit.

Generic gold banana plugs there are P50 a pair & the one with both connected by a plastic are P60.00 a pair.

these ones below could go as low as P12/ piece

Even the black and red type can be screw type. You can get them at any True Value or ACE Hardware electronics section. Unscrew the plastic cover (red or black) then you insert the wire into the rear of the plugs and it has two screw to lock the wires. No need to solder. There are similar plugs but no screw. You need to solder.

Hey, thanks for that clarification. dumb question, I guess.

I used the solder type thing... looked better than the plastics (but costly)... takot ko lang... baka pangit talaga ang pagkasolder ko inspite of the fact that isang baldeng pawis ng ang binuhos ko.

hehehe... good day to everyone!

Raon is the best place and much much cheaper. Php 150 in park square, if I remember correctly, is under a hundred in Raon. The shop is the near Rizal Ave. right side, can't remember the name. Single banana plugs (gold, screw type) similar to the one above is less than 50 bucks each. HTH

Sa gilid mo ipapasok yung wire tapos screw mo para maipit. Yung butas sa likod pede rin yatang pasakan ng banana. I've seen pics of amps using banana plugs as binding posts.

bro bee! dba they said na ok din banana plugs to prevent wire oxidation? eh pano yung screw type pala parang regular speaker binding posts lang din pala?

kid · « **Reply #69 on:** Oct 27, 2005 at 03:04 PM »

just bought those banana plugs with plastic cover for P25/pair at a shop in raon. I prefer these type of plugs... very convenient.... plug and play. hehehe

kt,

You mean the solder type ones? I read something about those too. I think oxidation will still take place. But don't worry much about it. I think you'll count years before you hear any audible effects.

madaming suki pla ang bumibili ng plugs na yan hehehe, i'll check sa parksquare this weekend kung meron pa

bro bee! yup i tink less oxidation for the solder typ. so lahat ng screw typ ba ganun lang sa gilid iniipit yung wires? so very much like the binding post sa speaker. wont the bare wires straight to the binding posts of the speaker give more contact than adding another connector(banana) na brass din?

Bare wire is best. I just use banana plugs because

1. I don't want bare wires touching the binding posts
2. neat-looking
3. convenient when unplugging

question lang po mga sir. kasi,yung banana plug na ixos parang mahaba ata yung pinaka dulo niya.kasi ayaw pumasok sa lukod nung speaker,pero sa avr.pasok namn siya lahat.wala ng kitang metal,yung plastic lang talaga,unlike dun sa likod ng speaker,parang hindi siya fit talaga.may natira pang konting naka expose na metal. talaga bang ganun yun? may size ba yung pinaka parang tip niya?mahaba o maiksi? thanks po

bro bee! yup they're really for convinience na....kaso tot banana plugs would lessen the oxidation of wires...pag solder type lang pala yun?

As I understand it, oxidation is a chemical process involving, obviously, oxygen. If we're able to prevent oxygen from touching the wires, we can prevent oxidation. If we solder at the tip, we can stop oxidation from there but, we have to make sure air tight yung connection between plug and the wire. Me sense ba

bro bee yup mukang ganun nga...so pag screw typ exposed parin yung wires noh?

Yup. As I said, don't worry too much about oxidation. Baka nga 10 years na e buhay pa yang wires natin

kt · « **Reply #82 on:** Oct 28, 2005 at 03:10 PM »

well yung mag oxidize lang naman yung exposed wire tip dba? edi strip off nalang ulit! hehe

Pati yung hindi exposed. Oxidation is inevitable. But it can be slowed down. Coating is one way.

Most of the better (High-end) IC's & BananaClips or connectors in General are non magnetic? Try to bring your powerful magnet in selecting any connectors.
Reason:
Non magnetic means less Corrosive.....means less oxidation in the long run ...better connection! Reliable!

bro bee u mean pati yung covered wires? tot yung naka expose lang?

bro odyo tnx for the tip!

Pag iba na yung kulay ng wire.
