can this be used like a closed screw type by accepting the wire in the back?

BEST ANSWER: No, the back allows you to put in another banana jack - it's part of the screw and doesn't allow you to crimp the wire the way a closed screw type works. If your concern is that you're working with stranded wire, my suggestion is to take your wire and tin it so you end up with a single large conductor and put it in the side. Alternatively you can add a pin connector or spade connector via crimping and put that in. If your concern is the space needed for side entry then your best bet is to just get a closed screw type.

Mike, I'm sorry if I'm a little late to respond and I'm not sure if I'll be able to help out.
With that being said these are two pieces, the bottom part is hollow and screws into the nipple/plug part on top. There is a tiny diameter hole in the nipple end but I don't think/know if that works the way I'm interpreting your question.

No, this kind of plug has the set screw on the back and the wire inserts in the side and gets clamped in place. These allow you to piggy back banana plugs on top of each other.

No, this ones are a little harder to keep on the wire as they don’t really have anything to hold the wire down. Even if you have the right gauge wire it can slip out.

Yes, you can send the wire through the back but in this configuration, the wire will need to exit one side in order to be pinched between the body & screw.

Yes, you can do it that way, but it is easier to attach the wire through the side hole.

No, the screw in of the Wire is on the side and not in the back. Hope this help.

Will a 12awg speaker wire (Choice series 12awg #2747) fit in the back end without stripping back the insulation?

BEST ANSWER: If you like to use banana plugs, these are just fine. I like them better than the other ones where the wire is inserted through the back screw.

You put the wire in the side. 12awg wire works just fine on these connectors though I wouldn't recommend them for a different reason.

Can this be used as an adapter to allow the use of a spade connector? Could a spade connector be tightened down on the back of the screw-in portion of the banana plug?

BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question.
Possibly, but we do not offer any spade connector adapters so we would not be certain.

Good Plugs
This plugs are superior to the crimp-on. They attach easily and hold the wires securely.

Defective junk
The screw mechanism doesn't tighten far enough to secure the wire. I'm using 16-gauge lamp wire, which is commonly used as speaker wire. It easily pulls out of these connectors. Ridiculous.

Does not hold speaker wire
I bought this because it had five star reviews. It arrived today, and these do not work at all. They will not hold the speaker wire.
Regardless of how hight I tighten the plug, or how much speaker wire I put into the plug, the plug will not hold the speaker wire in the plug. The speaker wire falls right out.
Really disappointed with this product.

Great Connector, Wrong application.
I purchased a Monoprice Home Theater System. I wanted a Plug Connector to add to Speaker wire ends for cleaner hook-up. Unfortunately for Me the angle of spring push connectors on back of all the speakers won't let me use them. No access to that area. I'm sorry that Monoprice failed to mention that bare or tinned bare wires are the only way to connect wires. All the different fancy gold plated connectors won't work. Plus, they got Me, for the cost of those 5-pair of connectors its not worth my time to chase return authorization, package and pay to mail back. So. Actual Connectors get 5-Stars, Monoprice gets 1-Star again. ( Had other problems with there Shipping Dept. )

fit perfectly
I ordered these as a backup to those of a more prominet retailer. These fit the receiver exactly as they should while the otherss were simply too tight to feel comfortable that they would not damage the receivers connections.
