Actually, not so easy to mount | ||
The ones I received had a threaded shaft 1.5 mm less in diameter than the head. That meant I had to drill a very precise hole, no slop in order to assure head did not fall thru panel. Then I had to invent a tool to tighten the threaded collar. Ended up using forceps. Sanded the solder lug with 1000 grit, applied flux and used a 565 degree iron with old school leaded solder. Worked well, no melting though I did stick a banana plug into jack before soldering to wick heat away. | ||

solders well with some work | ||
The plastic is lightweight and will deform under too much heat. The tabs are covered with a layer of something thats nearly invisible and must be removed before soldering by scraping or filing. Heat sink them with a banana in the socket and a clamp on the tab, and use a hot iron and be quick. | ||

Worked well | ||
I got these for a DAQ box and they worked fine. You can not solder to them without deforming the plastic but they worked good with 1/4 crimp-on quick connects. | ||

Safety Banana Jacks not intended for soldering | ||
These jacks look great and are easy to mount. Its worth mentioning that its almost impossible to solder to the solder tab on these - the metal is apparently impervious to ordinary rosin-core solder. Perhaps theyre really meant for crimp-on spade connectors? At any rate, I was eventually able to solder to them, but theyd gotten so hot in the process that the plastic deformed. | ||

EU2000i parallel cable | ||
Bought these to build a 12ga parallel cable for my Honda eu2000i generators. Works well. | ||
