Atohm WT FB 1960 G

This female banana plug terminal block from Atohm is a high-end spare part designed to equip connection panels for speakers or amplifiers. It accepts banana plugs and ensures a reliable electrical connection between the cable and the device.

Its floating washer prevents the cable from being cut when the terminal is tightened, a point often overlooked on more basic terminal blocks. The length of the threaded section allows mounting on MDF panels up to 22 mm thick, and more if a counterbore is made to create additional space.

The body is made of lead-free brass, CNC-machined and then 24K gold-plated, a treatment that limits contact oxidation and promotes good conductivity over time. The insulated intermediate washers also allow installation on a metal chassis, a configuration frequently found on the rear of an amplifier.

This terminal block is aimed at audiophile enthusiasts who are renovating or building their own connection panel, whether for a speaker, a subwoofer or the rear panel of an amplifier. It is suitable both for mounting on wood and for direct integration onto metal thanks to its built-in insulation.

When purchasing this type of spare part, it is worth checking the condition of the gold plating, which can tarnish or scratch with use, as well as the proper functioning of the insulated tightening terminal and the floating washer, mechanical elements that ensure both cable retention and the absence of short-circuiting with the chassis.
