Anyone have a source for Heavy Duty banana plugs/jacks? All the usual inline electronics supply houses don't spec amp capacity for all their parts. I'm specifically looking for jacks that can handle 20A or better.

I have no idea what the ones I carry are rated at but I have used them with my 45 Amp power supply pulling more than 20 amps with my e-Station 902 chargers.

Hey Kevin,

Here are the ones I am using, although they don't have the specs listed, I have used them pushing 20 A charging 2x 6s packs FP 4900's.

If you want to make sure, you can order these, rated for 20-60A ESC

Personally, I think they are the same.

I have never seen an amp rating on their either. But lots of people run them at pretty high amp loads. They are similar to very large bullet connectors, so should be fine.

OK, cool. Got a few options. I'm building a charging "box" and need to be able to drive a couple TP1010s off the power distribution "gizmo" that'll be in it.

Thanks guys!

I just got one and it is nice. This afternoon I was running my 101C charging a 5S at 2.8 amps, 2 x Cell Pros, and a Triton2 cycling a NiMH off of it.

Green LED to tell you power is available, Blue LED for each switched outlet to let you know the switch is on.

And BTW those clamps are removeable and you have banana plugs to plug into your power supply.

Only strange thing is that it has two fuse slots, that seem to be in parallel. I just put in a single 30 amp fuse.

I do wish at least one more outlet was switched.

Damn, that's pretty much what I was going to build... I doublt I can build it for $30 so I think I'll order one up instead...

I've got one of those as well, and it has worked fine.

One concern I had after opening it up was all the bare aluminum wire inside. It looked thin, and exposed.

Anyone else noticed this? Am I worrying about nothing?
