QED SCREWLOC ABS 4MM Banana Plug - 4 Pack

 

QED's SCREWLOC Banana Plugs are 24k Gold Plated, which means they do not oxidise like copper plugs. The Forte blade locking mechanism ensures a snug fit, maximising the contact area and securing a uniform connection.

What QED say

The SCREWLOC forte 4mm Banana Plug is the ideal finishing connection to ensure you get the best from your speaker cable. Designed for use where speed and convenience are the paramount concern, these connectors make the most of the Screwloc style termination providing a twin conductor clamp to suit cable diameters up to 3.25mm. 

The new Forte plugs are 24k Gold Plated which has a resistivity almost as low as copper but more importantly does not oxidise in air. The new Forte plug section is designed to maximise contact area throughout the wide tolerance range encountered in 4mm amplifier and speaker sockets. Some can be quite tight whereas others may be loose, so the spring loaded Forte blade is designed to fit into smaller and larger sockets with equal insertion force. This means that the contact area is maximised and the connection remains uniformly tight. 

The plugs themselves are made of brass which has roughly twice the resistivity of copper. For this reason the 4mm banana plug was devised so that its cross-sectional area would be at least double that of the cable to which it was connected effectively cancelling out the extra resistance of the plug material. QED then plates the connector with high purity gold which has a resistivity almost as low as copper but more importantly does not oxidise in air.

These QED banana plugs are "Made in Taiwan"
Oh for the good old days when QED was made in the UK. The only similarity to the UK made is the price. Futureshop should specify the country of manufacture on all its products?

As before I look to Futureshop to provide a good range of items, fairly priced with decent reviews and excellent product information. Never been let down yet and I’m sure these will provide a good termination on an Audioquest speaker cable, perfect for my new upgrades.

Excellent product and service.

Bought the banana plugs for the amp and the spade plugs for the speakers. Both easy to fit and the whole set-up sounds great.
Futureshop had the best price I could find and delivered them to France. Excellent.

Verified Buyer
Having seen these plugs advertised in a Hi Fi magazine I decided to make a purchase. I found 'FUTURESHOP' whilst searching the webb and thought the price was pretty competative so I placed an order, they arrived within a couple of days which was brilliant considering the time of year ( just after Xmas).
They are so easy to fit and a lot better then having them pre- crimped, they are now bearing fruits to my mini system.
