    Banana jack for hooded test leads

    What is the name for a banana jack that will take a hooded test probe? This is the type of recessed jack a DMM uses, although I need panel mount.

    My ESR meter uses a recycled PH meter with normal banana jack mounting posts, but it would be better if I could use standard multimeter test leads with the hooded banana connectors.

    Searching at Digikey hasn't found them, but I'm not sure what to call these jacks.

    Are you looking for jacks for sheathed banana plugs?

      Yes! But just a pair... Some places might call these "shrouded", too. Mouse has a pair, but doesn't say if they're red/black or just black. Doesn't matter for an ESR meter, anyway. Odd that Digikey doesn't have them in singles or pairs.

      Thanks!

          Why don't you buy a $2 multimeter at Harbor Freight and rip the jacks out of it?

            Actually did have some low-quality dead DMMs... somebody thought it was a good idea to measure AC current in parallel, and the fuses didn't save them.

            The jacks weren't panel-mount. They're just a tube soldered to the board with a plastic tube that fits down over it to insulate the outside.

              It looks like the Cen-Tech multimeter

              http://www.harborfreight.com/7-funct...ter-90899.html

              has a 3.5mm deep jack. The "mid to higher" range multimeters use a 4.0mm deep jack.

                Found these jacks from http://www.caltestelectronics.com/ww...m+Safety+Jacks, got them from TestPath.com.
