Pomona Adapter Query
Locked
 
|
I have the recommended Pomona BNC-to-dual binding post adapter for use with my KX1. It looks like some kind of wire termination might fit into the ends of the binding posts. Has anybody got a recommendation for what kind of wire termination would fit snugly into those openings? Banana plugs are too large. It would be nice to have a plug-in option, in addition to crimping bare wires.

Scott,
The intended male plug to go into the Pomona adapter binding posts is a standard banana plug. They come in both straght and right-angle versions and in many colors. If you want to use a plug to go into the holes "under" the binding posts a standard tip plug is the item. Both types of plugs are found on the meter ends of VOM test leads, depending the brand of meter. I think they can be found at Radio Scrap .... 73!

Ken:
Thanks. What I already have must not be standard banana plugs, because they won't fit. Guess I'm going on a shopping trip... 73. -sw- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Kopp" <[hidden email]> To: "Scott Walker" <[hidden email]>; "elecraft reflector" <[hidden email]> Sent: Monday, September 03, 2007 6:10 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Pomona Adapter Query > Scott, > > The intended male plug to go into the Pomona adapter > binding posts is a standard banana plug.

Banana plugs should fit into the top of the binding posts. Also on the
Pomona adapter they will fit into the two holes directly below the bases of the binding posts in the black shank. Pomona makes a VERY nice banana plug with a banana socket on the other end. The cable for it goes thru a small spigot strain relief on the side of the plug, and the wire is held with a common 8-32 set screw which is accessible thru the back socket part of the plug with a small screwdriver. They are VERY nice banana plugs and well suited to portable antenna use. You can stack several plugs together easily for laying out radials etc. The Pomona part number for that plug is #1825. They come in black and red plus other colors. I just use the black and the red ones. Allied Electronics, Newark and probably others have then in stock. 73, Sandy W5TVW ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Walker" <[hidden email]> To: "elecraft reflector" <[hidden email]> Sent: Monday, September 03, 2007 4:15 PM Subject: [Elecraft] Pomona Adapter Query I have the recommended Pomona BNC-to-dual binding post adapter for use with my KX1.

BTW: The "Chinese" imitations of the Pomona #1296 sometimes have "sub
standard" jack holes in the binding posts! I bought a couple of the "cheapies" and they work, but they are crappy compared with the real thing. 73, Sandy W5TVW ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Walker" <[hidden email]> To: "Ken Kopp" <[hidden email]>; "elecraft reflector" <[hidden email]> Sent: Monday, September 03, 2007 6:05 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Pomona Adapter Query > Ken: > Thanks.

Guess I'm going on a shopping trip... > 73. ============================================ If I remember correctly, Pomona makes a standard size adaptor and a miniture one. I bought the smaller one and I like the size for portable operations as it fits in a small package better. I don't know if they make a plug to fit, but I would think so. I just double the end of my #24 antenna and ground wire and tin it. Insert thru the small hole and tighten the plastic "nut". It seems to last a long time. Also, it is field repairable with a small knife if the wire "plug" breaks. I just moved into a new house and have been using just such a portable antenna for two months now with no breakage, yet. 73 Rick Dettinger K7MW _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
