Where to find solderable banana plugs reasonable

[Doug917]

I am wanting to get rid of some bare wire connections and was wondering if anyone knows a good place to buy solderable banana plugs (about 50 or so) without breaking the bank. My requirements would be gold plated with sheaths and up to 12 guage wire.

Thanks in advance!

I recently used the IW16PLUG bananas on a project and they worked fine. Not as nice as the Monster plugs but a lot less money. Hometech has excellent customer service and ships quickly. I've used them many times with no problems.

Duffinator,

Did you crimp the connections or solder? Some wiring I have is 14 gauge and some is 12 guage. If crimped, how do the connections hold up?

I usually prefer overkill and I always crimp and solder. I used these with 14 gauge speaker wire but I'm pretty sure they will work with 12 as well. But don't shoot me if they don't. Give Hometech a call and see what they say. Good luck.

Look under Connectors. There's an endless supply and probably one of the cheapest sites on the web.
