I'm trying to make an adapter harness to test a sensor in a car, and I need a 4mm shrouded female banana plug to hook up to my oscilloscope.
I am looking for something similar to This made by pomona but I don't need anything that fancy for $5.25 each. hopefully something in the 1-2 dollar range, as I would probably get atleast 20 of them, to make more different test leads in the future. I don't need 20 amps, or even 1 amp. I don't need gold plating, and straight or 90 degree is ok.

Anyone know of a better source, or a more correct name to search for, to find better options? Thanks!

Thanks! I always forget to check ebay.
I was hoping to get solder or crimpable ones, just for a more professional look, and I found these for only $1.70 each but they are in UK
if shipping is reasonable I'll probably get 20 of them.

Thanks again.

Digikey is also another source....Allied Electronics.....

And in your neck of the woods...there has got to be a electronics hobby shop somewhere...I would start with contacting a HAM radio operator.

So....what kind of scope?

Thanks guys, I just ordered one from the uk seller around $50 for 20 pieces shipped. I'd love to get one local but I barely get enough time to go grocery shopping, let alone go to radio shack.

ddawg it is a snap-on pacpro 5 in 1 made by edge diagnostics, I believe it's from 1991.
I started off with an old heathkit from the 60s i think. I bought it off of a lady at the scrapyard for $2. I could never get it to work reliably and ended up giving it away.
I hope to win the lottery and buy a picoscope kit one day :drool:

As mentioned, try Digikey. They should have lots of them cheap. Navigating their website is an electronic nightmare, but if you know someone in the electronics industry, borrow his catalog. Things are very easy to find in the catalog.
