According to Wikipedia, the banana connector was invented in 1924 by Richard Hirschmann. | |||
The male (plug) is a 4mm shaft that has a springy shroud so it fits snugly in the female (socket), | |||
which is a 4mm hole. In American equipment, when banana plugs are used in pairs (e.g., power and ground), | |||
it is customary to place the two banana connectors 3/4" apart. Although the 3/4" spacing is a de facto | |||
standard in America, it is problematic in Europe, where a 3/4" double banana plug can easily be inserted | |||
into a wall (mains) power receptacle by accident. | |||
