how do you connect cable to banana plugs ?
A shopper
on Jan 12, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Monoprice actually has a video that shows the stripping and feeding the wire through the center of the bottom half on non-plug half. You then flare the bare stranded wire over the end of that portion of the connector. It doesn't take much and when you screw the banana plug end onto the bottom half it traps all those flared strands between the mating surfaces. I give them a tug after installation to make sure the connection would fail during final installation. They hold nice and tight when installed properly. If you try to flare too much wire you will have difficulty installing the plug half but with a bit of practice you will be install each plug in about 1 minute.

Very simple: unscrew the base from the plug, cut the speaker wire to the length you need, and insert it in the base. Then tighten. I like to strip off about an extra 16" of the clear jacket, to get a little more wire on the connection.

Strip away the plastic sheath with utility knife or cable stripper. Take the exposed copper wire and twist tightly. Put wire thru hole in banana plug and lock in by turning screw. Easy Peezy! Do same for receiver speaker terminal.

BEST ANSWER: technically they do not stack,however they do fit into each other and you can stack

N0, they are not stackable. The banana plugs fit on the end of the cable. There is no place to plug another banana plug into them.

Can a 12 gauge speaker wire be soldered into the closed screw type banana plugs?
A shopper
on Jul 12, 2018
BEST ANSWER: I suggest you watch the video, as there is no need to do. The wires will not come out, and will continue to make good contact with the plug if you use the plug as described. I am in the professional audio business and can tell you that reliability is key.
Soldering will probably cause issues with the internal screw threads engaging. Hope that helps!

I don’t see why you couldn’t solder a 12 ga. Wire in, though it could be a tight fit. I’ve used 14 ga. stranded wire installed the conventional way without any audible sound degradation

Can this banana plug fit in Yamaha HTR 5990 receiver ?

BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question.
We have nto tested these plugs on that specific receiver but it looks like it has standard banana plug ports so they would probably work.

Hi, the answer is yes. The banana plugs will fit your Yamaha 5990 reciever. They are very easy to use and install, just make sure you have enough clearance in your back cabinet for the extension of the plugs and cables.

BEST ANSWER: Yes the ends can be unscrewed separate from the nut that holds the wire and the tips have the same thread size so swapping out the banana for straight pins will work.

I have a Yamaha A/V 3060 receiver. I tried the Affinity banana plug but, they were too large. I read they need to be 4mm. Would these be the correct size?
Tyson R
on Jun 27, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Sorry to hear the Affinity were too large. These banana plugs will be 4.5mm in OD. These should fit fine for the connector will collapse a bit when plugged in and expand to secure it in the port.

Will the Nimbus 12AWG and banana plugs work well to construct a set of cables to connect between an AVR and the wall plate? I'm concerned about flexibility. All my in-wall cable runs are 12AWG.

The back end of the plug appears to be metallic (rather than plastic as in some other brands). Is there a risk of shorting if ends of the positive and negative banana plug touch each other?
Rajesh K
on Dec 10, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Yes, they will short. These are not intended to "hot plug". Only connect or disconnect with power off. Do not ever operate your power amp with the amp end of a speaker cable connected and the speaker end disconnected. There may be exceptions to this rule with specific sound reinforcement/commercial combinations, but that is a very rare situation. You can add clear heatshrink to these is you want to provide protection from unusual situations.

Works As Described
Usually I just connect with bare wire. More inconvenient but less connections getting in the way of the signal. Anyway, after my old receiver started going haywire and several disconnects and reconnects to take to my dealer, then deciding to buy a new receiver, I got tired pretty fast of kneeling in cramped places trying to neatly get the bare wire fed into the very close speaker terminals. Bought these because I needed single plugs. I had some duals but they did not match the terminals. They arrived quick enough even with COVID slowing stuff down. They are exactly as they are described. Very high quality. There were no instructions and after a couple failed attempts to figure out myself, I just search YouTube for a video and learned easy enough. Once I did, I had them connected to the wire in no time. They look great and plugged snuggly, but not too tightly into the terminals. Will make disconnecting/reconnecting when the time comes so much easier and they neatened up the appearance.
