Correct name for Test lead plugs
What is the correct name for the old style test lead plugs that used to
be used on older inexpensive VOMs? They were NOT banana plugs. They were thinner. Same size as the test probes, but much shorter. I need to get a few of these for some older test gear, but I am not sure what to search for.... Thanks |

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!
