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.

Mixed feelings about these banana plugs
These banana plugs seemed like a good idea. They were recommended by a friend, but at least one of them doesn't screw down enough to hold the speaker wire; not sure if it's a different kind that got into the bag accidentally, or just a defect? Also, because my amplifier is a vinatge model from the early 80's, I found the banana plugs didn't make a good contact with the speaker input terminals. They fit fine on my contemporary speakers, however. Maybe only use these if you have new/modern equipment in your set-up. Out of 5 pairs in this order, I'm only able to use 2...
