Stackable Double Banana Plug
The Pomona Electronics MDP-0 is a stackable double banana plug designed for test and measurement setups. It accepts 18 AWG wire and includes a cable guide for simplified attachment via set screws. The nickel-plated beryllium copper contacts handle up to 15 A at 5,000 V.
Vertically Stackable Test Connection
This plug replaces single fixed banana connectors where vertical stacking is required for test versatility. The jump is worth it when multiple leads must share a single binding post without additional adapters. Brass body construction and spring-loaded contacts maintain reliable contact through repeated mating cycles.
Technicians Needing High-Voltage Stacking
Suits engineers and technicians building test leads for high-voltage instruments up to the rated limits. The 122 Degrees F maximum operating temperature suits standard bench environments. Buyers needing larger wire gauges or different contact spacing should look at other configurations.

Questions about this item
What spacing do the contacts need on the panel or binding posts?
The contacts are spaced 3/4 in apart, so the panel or binding posts must match that centre-to-centre distance.
How do you secure the wire, and what mistake do installers make?
Loosen the set screws, insert up to 18 AWG wire, then tighten the screws; the common error is leaving the screws loose, which gives intermittent contact.
When should the plug be replaced based on temperature rating?
The maximum operating temperature is 122 Degrees F; if the body regularly exceeds that level the spring temper can degrade and the plug should be replaced.
