Sewell Deadbolt 30 Degree Angled Spade Plugs, 6 Pairs

My audio speakers allow 2 options for connecting speaker wire - either wire-wrap or use spade connectors. I decided to go with spade connectors since that provides a cleaner and stronger connection. I looked at several different product options including AudioQuest which many consider the best when it comes to connectors. I decided to give the Swell spade connectors a try since they appeared well made based on my research and significantly easier on my budget. I wasn’t disappointed by my decision. These connectors are very well made and heavy duty, but they are large (see photo) and will not work for all applications due to the space requirements. For example they were too large for my receiver (not enough clearance to accommodate their size), but with a little finesse ended up working well with the binding posts on my speakers (see photo). These connectors will work well with 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 gauge speaker wire using the self crimping teeth which securely fastens the speaker wire to the connector. Connecting your speaker wire to these plugs is pretty straight forward and takes 5 steps: 1- Unscrew and remove the bottom cap of the spade connector. 2- Strip approximately 13-14 mm (~1/2 inch) of the insulation jacket from the end of the speaker wire exposing the bare copper conductor. 3- Feed the bare wire through the bottom hole of the bottom cap until they protrude beyond the teeth of the bottom cap. 4- Bend the copper strands of the speaker wire down around the teeth of the bottom cap. 5- Screw the top of the connector (the gold plated spade portion) back onto the bottom cap securely.

Built very well and so easy to get your cable connected and ready for use. No tools needed. I had the same experience with spade and banana connectors - excellent product. The audioquest models have flashier packaging and a much higher price - these are very good. I have multiple cable runs with different cable using these and spares just in case.

I ended up returning these due to an incompatibility with my specific need. I was hoping to use these with a speaker binding post wall plate for a lower profile solution to a banana plug. The threaded barrel of this product was too wide and would not allow the contact surface of the fork to lay flat in the binding post of the wall plate. I'm guessing these are intended for car audio installations where the terminals on the amplifier allow the barrel to hang off the edge in free air. Be aware, the post size they are designed for is quite large, near 5/16". The outside of the fork itself was close to 3/8". (Double check these dimensions I'm citing from visual memory). Even though they didn't work for me the quality is not an issue. I am very pleased with the same style banana plugs I purchased from Sewell.

I am using these for a pair of speaker binding posts that are enclosed behind a panel that is screwed into the back of my particular speaker. Because of the nature of my particular speakers, I wanted to be use a spade plug so that there would be no way they could come loose if I moved my speaker - I didn't want to remove my rear panel and look every time the speaker was moved. I am confident these will not come loose ever. They are gold plated, two-piece units. The top unscrews and I was able to make a VERY strong connection using my high quality 12 gauge speaker wire. I feel I could not have made a better connection. The only warning would be that they are LARGE and if you are using an older amplifier or a cheaper consumer grade unit, the posts for speaker connection might be too tight / or small to facilitate such a large spade. There are other sizes; these ones are some big boys. I love them so far, my connections are fanastic and the sound (to me) is MUCH cleaner than my banana plugs I was using previous. 10 of 10 would recommend.

What can I say? These were just amazing banana plugs. I had got a pair of banana plugs from them. A different kind. The ones that stick into the speaker terminal and they were just amazing the best set of banana plugs I've been owned but I want to try a different banana plugs and I did try a few brands and they were pretty decent. But I went to this company and bought three separate pairs of banana plugs. All three different kinds banana plugs gave me a really bad connection and the reason I got them for is cuz I need a stacked full of banana plugs and they were awful. So I got the idea to get some spade banana plugs so that way I can buy wire. I can put in the banana plugs into the terminal and put these spades around the terminal and I didn't want to waste. No more money or time. I'm worthless banana plugs. So I bought this brand of banana plugs because I remember how good that The ones that a banana plugs was from this company and they did not let down. These banana posts are just amazing. I highly recommend them over and over again. It's obvious it don't matter what kind you get from this company. You're definitely get good quality

Dang... First, let me say that these are beastly. I mean, really. Each plug is about the size of my thumb. The forks of the spade are thicker than the tangs of my dinner forks. These might male a heavier duty connection than what's on my car's battery terminals. So I don't know if I would feel comfortable using these on anything beyond a stereo receiver at the receiver side. Once you've got a few pairs of these going on, I'd be concerned with making contact with the other plugs. Know your install, and know what you're trying to do. I wanted these for my speaker connections as Klipsch closed up the back end of the binding post, making banana plugs a bit awkward. These were easy to assemble, held fast when the cable was tugged, and has enough metal to ensure a solid connection. Pros: - Big and heavy - Easy to figure out and assemble - Holds tightly to the cable - Accepts large gauge wire and jackets - Really nice looking Cons: - Big and heavy - Metallic casing , so you need to be careful where you use these so you don't damage your amplifier. All in all, these are fantastic if you know what you're doing with these. If you're looking for spade plugs, these are well worth the money and are actually priced reasonably. I've only assembled the cables so far, but I'll try to update post-install. ------------------------------ - Yamaha RX-775WA receiver - 2x Klipsch RF82 II - 14AWG copper stage speaker cable, these at one end, Sewell Silverback bananas at the other. - 46" Samsung LCD, 9' seating distance :) - Sony Blu-Ray Player

Spade terminal to large to fit between mounting screws. Can cause short if it falls off or moves. Fragile and broke when trying to squeeze sides to fit,

Perfect for my Klipsch speaker system

Easy to use

Como he podido tener toda mi vida la conexión con los altavoces sin este adaptador? Sujeción fantástica. Rosca de alta calidad. Precio muy competitivo. Sin problemas con el envío. El packaging se reduce a una bolsa protectora (suficiente).

Amazingly simple to install, and make a very secure connection. The connectors are quite chunky and give a clear impression of solidity. They fit perfectly on the post connectors of speakers (the ones in which you can usually insert a 4 mm banana jack or bare wire). Beware to use reasonably chunky multi-strand wire (I used 2.50 mm2 one, approx 13 AWG) as otherwise the wire might be quite loose inside and could break off if twisted around.

Was very impressed with these spades. Very heavy, solid and of good construction. Made speaker cables with 12awg 4 conductor so they're able to take 9awg or even 8 awg. Quick and easy to install with a very sturdy connection. Would purchase again foresure!

Exactly like the Monster ones, but a fraction of the cost. Solid, simple design.
