Nanajack Rear-Mounting Banana Jack - Round Nut Version (Banana Jack Alternative)
NanajackTM Rear-Mounting Banana Jack
Round Nut Version
Nanajacks are designed to be soldered to PCBs and mounted to panels from the rear-- and they are sized to position the panel at the defacto standard 10mm height from the PCB consistent with other components- pots, switches, other jacks etc. Panels are tightened to the pcb assembly with the removable nuts color-matched to the barrels. Nanajacks can be soldered to the PCB before the panel is installed, making panel assembly, removal and troubleshooting much easier than the traditional banana jack. They can also be used as substitutes for traditional banana jacks since they retain the solder lug. Nanajack barrels and nuts are made of injection-molded nylon (not 3D printed) and the inserts are CNC-machined with bright tin plating.
Eleven colors are available – including 'clear' translucent nylon barrel + nut for that unique LED-illumination look.
The round nut was developed in order to emulate the look of the traditional banana jack from the front, while using a fine knurl on the outside edge in order to simplify tightening the nut to the panel during final assembly. They are designed to be hand-tightened or can be installed using a small wrench.
The nuts are designed to tighten down while leaving a small gap for a panel to be sandwiched between the back of the nut and the face of the jack below.
