Overview
The Pomona 1825-0 banana plug is a solderless, stackable connector designed for rapid test-lead and jumper-wire assembly in laboratory, field service, and instrumentation applications. Each plug in this pack of 10 units features a nickel-plated zinc die-cast body with a beryllium copper spring contact and integral safety collar for strain relief and operator protection.
Key Features
- Solderless termination: Set screw simplifies assembly of test leads and jumpers by using a flat blade screwdriver for easy wire attachment
- Stackable design: Allows multiple plugs to be connected in parallel for multi-point testing
- Safety collar: Integral safety collar insulates wire conductor and offers wire strain relief
- Tarnish-resistant finish: Available with tarnish resistant nickel or gold plating for very low contact resistance
- Wide wire compatibility: Designed to fit on the end of any 22 AWG to 18 AWG wire. Cross hole wire entry fits wires up to .12″ (3mm) in diameter

Typical Applications
The Pomona 1825-0 banana plugs are used to carry DC and low-frequency signals. Power supplies to multimeters typically use banana plugs. These connectors are widely used in test and measurement equipment, benchtop power supplies, oscilloscopes, multimeters, data acquisition systems, and custom instrumentation fixtures. Engineers and technicians rely on them for quick-connect testing during troubleshooting, prototyping, and field service work.
