London road models RSU electric connector type?

[TwentyTwoStu]

Hi all,

I've recently purchased an Rsu. What I wish to know is what the connection called attached to the negative lead to connect to the unit. It looks a bit like a 3.5mm audio jack but with splines running up the metal tip. I can't find them for the life of me. I wish to make up a couple of spare return leads to connect to a couple of different sized metal work plates and one to a ground flat crocodile clip. If anyone can help me with the name of the connectors used to attach the leads to the unit I'd be ever so grateful. Thankyou for reading,

Take care ✌️

Hi Stu,

Most likely 4mm dia. Banana Plugs, like these:

I concur with Martin.

What you need are 4mm banana plugs, but in fact what you really need are the sockets to add to your various steel plates

This is the socket I have used.

I refer you to this post which has links to the right bits at RS: https://www.scalefour.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=138&hilit=RSU&start=50#p64062

If you look at my video you will see how I have made a connection to my metal plate. The relevant part begins at about 3mins 30 secs.
