Banana and Tip Connectors - Jacks, Plugs - are essential components used in various electronic applications, ranging from test and measurement equipment to signaling systems. The BU-32614-8 is a member of the Banana and Tip Connector family. This article takes a closer look at the BU-32614-8, its component parts, its application field, and the underlying working principle.

Component Parts

The BU-32614-8 is designed with two parts: the jack and the plug. The jack is installed with a threaded sleeve to prevent movement or loosening due to vibration or mechanical shock. It consists of an inner sleeve and a metal cap to keep the contact area protected and to provide strain relief for the cable. The plug has an outer shell made out of insulating plastic material, and two spring-loaded banana sleeves, one located outside of the shell and one inside.

Application Field

The BU-32614-8 connector is used mostly in test and measurement applications such as digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, signal generators, and servo drives. It is also suitable for use in radio antennas and other radio related components. It is a reliable connection for AC or DC power and measurement signals.

Working Principle

The working principle of the BU-32614-8 is fairly straightforward. It operates as an electrically insulated connection between two points, such as a signal generator and a device under test. When the plug and the jack are connected, the spring-loaded banana sleeves make contact with the metal cap on the jack, thus establishing an electrical connection. When the two parts are disconnected, the spring-loaded sleeves pull back into the outer shell, thus breaking the electrical connection. The threaded sleeve provides strain relief, preventing movement or loosening as a result of mechanical shock.

Conclusion

The BU-32614-8 is a simple yet reliable connector suitable for a wide range of applications in the realms of test and measurement, radio antennae, and other related components. Its two simple components make it easy to use and the robust construction helps to ensure a reliable connection. The simple working principle ensures a reliable electrical connection and strain relief to prevent any mechanical shock.
