Get the most out of your home audio system by ensuring the best connection from your speaker cable to your receiver with Deadbolt Banana plugs. The self-crimping teeth on these plugs provides a simple, secure, and low-profile connection without requiring soldering or screws.
How to Install Deadbolt Banana Plugs
- Unscrew the cap off the Deadbolt Banana Plug.
- Feed the bare conductor of the speaker wire through the center hole of the banana plug. (strip wire about 1/2")
- Bend the wires of the speaker wire down around the teeth.
- Replace the cap to secure the speaker wire.
- Your Deadbolt Banana Plug is ready for connection.
Why use Banana Plugs?
Many electronics use the banana plug interface, also known as binding post (referring to this connection in its female form). This female binding post connection that accepts this banana plug is found on virtually all audio/video receivers, speaker wall plates, and more.
Banana plugs offer an alternative to inserting a bare speaker wire into the equipment. Often a bare speaker connection is not as reliable as a guaranteed banana plug connection. Wires tend to get pulled out or frizzy after time passes. Banana plugs require only one install, giving you a permanent and robust connector at the end of your speaker wire.

Brian Berggren Your Deadbolt Banana Plugs are foolproof and elegant. Simply unscrew the two halves, insert 1/2 inch plus stripped wire, bendyover bare wires, mash wires against insulation, and screw plug cap on to secure wire connection in the Deadbolt. Keeping wire polarity straight is the only thing to check. Thank you.

John Souza I’m 70 years old and I have been struggling with speaker wire connections all my life. Never understood how banana plugs worked. My goodness what a difference. Once connected to the plug, inserting and removing only takes little effort and less time. I love them.
