Thats what I called them too, but I did not think that was the
"official" name.

Thanks


Look for "tip plugs" and "tip jacks".


Ah, better name!

Oh course I've never quite figured out why Banana plugs are named after
the banana, they don't actually look much like a banana. More like a
zucchini. Its the curve that is in the banana but not the jack!

It's the peel splitting into four AFAIR.
