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

BEST ANSWER: 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.

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

Can these plugs be stacked (can I plug one into the back of another)?
A shopper
on Dec 12, 2021
BEST ANSWER: Yes; the back end of each plug has a Banana plug jack, so each plug can be plugged into on the back of another plug (and daisy chained if need be).

Will these plug into Monoprice Keystone Jack - Modular RCA w/Red Center (White)?

BEST ANSWER: I don’t think that’s a match. Banana plugs need to mate with banana jacks. RCA plugs and jacks are a different type of connection.

No. An RCA connection is not the same as a speaker terminal for which banana plugs are used.

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.

Good basic bananas
Nice quality for the price. This wiring style forms a 90 deg return out of the component, helping to keep wiring tidy. I used 12AWG wire and 10AWG probably fits too. Recommended

Better than nothing
They work and look nice. Had to hunt down pointers on how to connect the wires - slide in the side holes and screw in. It's not an elegant look but it's better than hooking bare wire into the amp. Great price.

Best Banana plugs on the market!
These all metal, heavy duty banana plugs are the best I've ever used. The plug end is a bit thicker than other brands, which means they fit snugly into the amplifier\receiver inputs where other brands tend to wiggle lose. They are very easy to attach speaker wires to in a very secure manner. The price for 5 sets is a great deal on Monoprice and are twice the price on other sites.
Thanks for another great deal on a quality product Monoprice!
