ABSTRACT:
A banana plug of unitary construction with an improved spring fit and superior spring and fatigue resistant characteristics. The tip portion of the plug which provides electrical contact is formed from a plurality of slightly arched tangs formed around a longitudinal axis. The method of construction includes the steps of milling the tip as a solid cylindrical piece, tapping same along its longitudinal axis, and providing a plurality of cuts in planes passing through the longitudinal axis. The tangs are then suequentially forced apart and crimped back together at their distal ends by a specially constructed tool.
