Help me identify this connector ?

[MehulLakhani]

Hi All

Trying to fix an old cautery machine , for minor surgery. Need to find replacement connectors ? They look almost like hifi banana jacks, but slightly thinner and longer ?

Anyone have any ideas ?

Thanks

This doesn’t seem suspicious at all.

Good, I thought you were performing home surgery.

Sounds daft but does the connector actually ‘do’ anything apart from keep the wire in more securely?

So, I think it just keeps the wire in, but wanted to get the original connectors, and make it work like it should, rather than poking the wire into the holes, if at all possible

Seems like there’s a few options on the web? Who’s the manufacturer of the machine?

Get a bootlace ferrule and crimping tool kit and finish with heat shrink.

End up with a stiff crimped on narrow bit to poke into the screw down hole.

Having said that the pin diameter is probably key hear and may make it much easier to find.
Are you able to get an accurate measurement.
