Pin Tip

Pin Tip Plugs and Pin Tip Jacks are small dc 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.
