Description
Hollow Beryllium Copper Z-type Banana Plugs
Hollow Beryllium Copper Z-type Banana Plugs are designed to fit standard 4mm as well as BFA-type sockets found on many amplifiers such as certain models from Arcam, Linn and Cyrus.
Beryllium copper has mechanical properties similar to high tensile strength steels, but with better corrosion resistance and higher electrical conductivity. It is also non-magnetic and resistant to fatigue making the beryllium copper z-type banana plugs ideal for speaker cable connectors where consistency of optimum performance is achieved.
The hollow beryllium copper audio connectors on offer are brand new and manufactured to the highest standards, often used in professional installations.
Installation of these speaker plugs requires soldering to give optimum sonic performance.
The plugs can be piggy-backed with other 4mm plugs and fit cable up to 4mm in diameter.
Heatshrink red and black, perfect for use with these connectors – optional supplied with plugs.
Heatshrink also available in longer lengths. Please ask when placing your order.

Please note, beryllium copper connectors should not be crimped due to their brittle nature under high pressure.
Although beryllium copper is very strong and hard, lightweight, resistant to corrosion, highly conductive and non-magnetic, it is brittle. Therefore, we recommend soldering these beryllium copper z-type banana plugs.
Key Properties of Beryllium Copper
- High electrical and thermal conductivity.
- Non-sparking and non-magnetic characteristics.
- High ductility and excellent formability with regards to forming, machining, and metalworking processes.
- Higher resistance to corrosion and oxidation than steel.
