Banana Plug Extension 3 Pieces 3.5MM / 4MM red, yellow, blue 100CM

Description

Technical Specifications

Banana clips are used to connect wires within an electronic project or to extend the length of existing connectors. This product includes three clips of different colors (red, yellow, blue) with banana jacks of 3.5mm and 4mm sizes, each with a length of 100cm.

Banana jacks are known for their ease of use and stability over time, making these clips suitable for electronic prototyping and the creation of temporary circuits.

To ensure a safe and stable connection, it is important to verify the compatibility of the banana jacks with the project connectors and to ensure that the wires are clean and free of corrosion before installation.
