Yes spades. Actually read the fine print and I can order w spades. Checking on cost. So your hooking directly to a speaker, just wondering, active or external XO? I can't help myself, wondering about the application. Female spades? I only ask because most spade connectors make good contact ONCE.. When unplugged, if it's critical, I cut, toss and add a new one OR tighten the female roll on either side and give it a brass brushing. Male good brushing, rough it up.. Regards |

Just normal u shaped spade connectors. See this is where your loosing me. A spade is flat no U with a round wire receiver, normally insulated, normally CRIMPED.. A "U" sounds like a Y connector to me. A Y the tail on the Y is the wire receiver and can be soldered, crimped and soldered or securement screws. I've just never seen a spade used for a speaker terminal. Only as a speaker driver connection. .125 -.250 wide, about .60" thick for 10 amp (blue) .80" for 15 amp (Yellow).. A spade has a male and a female. A Y is locked down via a locking nut and normally the most commonly used feature on a FIVE (5) way binding post..(except banana).It's also a very GOOD way to mechanically connect and keep it tight.. TORQUE IT..A Y is an Eye term with the top cut out. Hee hee. Yup Yup I'm kinda thick sometime that way.. But ay, I haven't see a lot of things. LOL. Just an ol wore out mechanic.. So is it still a spade? or a Y, just wondering? Y is very common.. Regards |
