Arthur Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 For a while I've used a firing system with speaker connectors for the igniter contacts, now I'm looking for some of the single post connectors like a rivet with a spring loaded plastic collar in red or black. Can anyone identify what I mean and give me a lead to a supplier please?
robbo Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 "Spring loaded binding posts" might be what you're looking for - try MPJA.com
Arthur Posted September 1, 2021 Author Posted September 1, 2021 Now to find a supplier, anyone have a supplier in Europe or UK to share please.
Arthur Posted September 2, 2021 Author Posted September 2, 2021 Does anyone remember "JoeRatman" from another forum? Is he still contactable on line, does he have his own www these days?
pyrokid Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 You might contact Simplifire, the manufacturer of the mongoose system. It utilizes this type of connector: https://www.simplifirepyro.com/product-page/24-cue-premium-slat Having used both, my preference is for speaker terminals. It is much easier to tear down wires from speaker terminal boards post-display. Joeratman is still active on fb. I could probably get you an email if you want. FWIW the owner of "that old [defunct] site" is in prison now I remember about 2009 there was an Australian guy that was advocating for this type of connector, I think his website is here: https://www.quick-clips.com.au/product/stainless-steel-2-wire-post/
Arthur Posted September 3, 2021 Author Posted September 3, 2021 I like speaker terminals but I have some built PCBs that have the wrong pitch holes for speaker connectors. I can find some cheap spring connectors but rather fancied the usual firework connector.
belmec3825 Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 The connectors you speak of are called "banana jacks" or "banana posts". you can order them easily through amazon. add "spring loaded" to your search and you'll find plenty
