The entire core from the bottom up to the tip is made of copper for better sound optimisation. - The gold colour looks dull because there is no underlying layer of shiny, distortion-causing nickel. So, all you get is clean and pristine audio quality to your speakers. With the colour coded sleeve, it helps identifying speaker wire's polarity in order for your speakers to produce the truest audio frequencies and sound wave from the source. - Dual 2-set screws design will ensure the banana plug stays securely connected to the speaker wires. You may secure both set screws to the bare speaker wires for maximum contact or secure one set screw to the speaker wire's PVC jacket for elasticity strength. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B0B5Y6VHSN | | Best Sellers Rank | #26,012 in Electronics (See Top 100 in Electronics) #5 in Speaker Connectors | | Brand Name | Nakamichi | | Cable Type | AUX | | Colour | Banana Plugs | | Compatible Devices | Amplifier, Speaker | | Compatible Phone Models | Not compatible | | Connectivity Technology | Auxiliary | | Connector Gender | Male-to-Female | | Connector Type | Auxiliary | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (3,262) 4.7 out of 5 stars | | Ethernet Cable Category | Cat 5 | | External Testing Certification | Não aplicável | | Gauge | 18.0 | | Importer Contact Information | VALUECART PRIVATE LIMITED., 2nd Floor, 1/1 Vinayaka Towers 1st Cross, Gandhinagar Bangalore Karnataka 560009 | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Item Type Name | Gold Plated Banana Plug Connector | | Item Weight | 0.03 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | NIGNBO FENGHUA YUELIN SHUGUANG ELECTRONIC CO.,LTD Add: 48 RUIFENG ROAD DONGJIAO INDUSTRIAL ZONE, FENGHUA, NINGBO, CHINA Tel: 0086-574-88920070 Fax:0086-574-88926939, Nakamichi | | Manufacturer Contact Information | NIGNBO FENGHUA YUELIN SHUGUANG ELECTRONIC CO.,LTD Add: 48 RUIFENG ROAD DONGJIAO INDUSTRIAL ZONE, FENGHUA, NINGBO, CHINA Tel: 0086-574-88920070 Fax:0086-574-88926939 | | Model Number | NBPA01E | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Number Of Pins | 8 | | Other Special Features Of The Product | Gold Plated | | Packer Contact Information | Tunez IN., 101, Guangyin Building, No. 15, Taiping Section, Fukang North Road, Daping Community, Dali Town, Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, China., Contact: 0086-13512786163 | | Part Number | NBPA01E | | Recommended Uses For Product | Ideal for connecting speakers to amplifiers, receivers, and sound systems, ensuring a secure and reliable audio signal. | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Upc | 850045360092 | | Wattage | 120 Watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Nakamichi - **Cable Type:** AUX - **Compatible Devices:** Amplifier, Speaker - **Compatible Phone Models:** Not compatible - **Connector Type:** Auxiliary ## Images ![Excel Series 24k Gold Plated Banana Plug 12 AWG - 18 AWG Gauge Size 4mm for Speakers Amplifier Hi-Fi AV Receiver Stereo Home Theatre Audio Wire Cable Screw Connector, 4 Pcs (2-Pairs) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51J3AW7bLpL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Did these come with one extra set screw?** A: No, the set screws are pre-installed and do not include extras. **Q: Are these counterfeit?** A: I have purchased these not once, but twice. There's nothing that would lead me to believe that these are counterfeit. They're banana plugs, you connect speaker wire to them, connect them to your speaker, done deal. They work great, and are continuing to work great for me and the stereo systems they're connected to. IF you need for further analysis of them to determine they're working capabilities, good luck in finding a lab to do that for you. OTHERWISE, just buy the plugs and try them out. You're not making a huge life-altering purchase, they're not that expensive. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellant banana plugs *by on Reviewed in India 4 September 2026* There are excellant banana plugs. They fit well and are reliable. Every music system should be connected using a banana plugs. They provide massive practical advantages for equipment safety, longevity, and convenience. Especially for periodic reconnecting all equipment to remove oxidation at the terminals and maintain best sound reproduction. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pricey but worth it *by on Reviewed in India 12 July 2025* Cannot believe I have used crappy banana plugs that still produced good quality sound, thanks to the good amplifier and speakers I have. While changing for the Nakamichi ones I couldn't even unscrew some of them, so bad were they. The Nakamichi ones feel solid. Even as you take them out of the pack you realise that. Attaching wires is easy and Nakamichi also provides an additional set of screws just in case you mess with the existing ones or lose them. An upgrade you can give your speaker connects for a lifetime. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small Upgrade, Massive Sound Difference *by on Reviewed in India 3 April 2026* I am extremely impressed with the Nakamichi Excel Series 24K Gold Plated Banana Pins.
