Pin Tip

Jumper cable with 0.08" Pin Tip Plugs

Pin Tip Plugs and Pin Tip Jacks are small low-voltage connectors similar to banana connectors, however the pin does not bear any springs and is straight, requiring springs in the jack for good contact. Angled pin connectors are sometimes called meter pin connectors, since they were common in older (1960s) multimeters.

Tektronix uses two variants, one with 0.080" (~2 mm) pin diameter and one with 0.040" (~1 mm) pin diameter.
