Suggestions for electrode connectors?

Post by BiguySF »

I have a bunch of electrodes which I like to mix and match but each has its own connector like banana, snap on, pad etc.

Rather than make/strip wires and solder, do you use connectors of any kind so you can just swap easily?

I ended up converging everything to 2mm pins. Although in the beginning my small collection was almost all banana plugs, later on with all the TENS pads, the CR tubing, and the cheap lead wires, most of my stuff was pins. I bought a few extra pin adapters/splitters and cut off the few odd connectors and replaced them with pin jacks. One thing I'm missing is the ability to "tee" the banana plugs together using the hole in each plug, but that is offset by the ability to plug into both ends of any CR tube, and I have enough pin splitters/joiners.

I have collected an assortment of adaptors that have been helpful. You can find many of these at the various e-stim shops like E-Stim Systems, Happy Stim, Current Pleasures and others.

2mm plug to 4mm jack: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VJ ... UTF8&psc=1
4mm plug to 2mm jack: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JE ... UTF8&psc=1
2mm jack to 3.5mm snap: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0117 ... UTF8&psc=1
Bifurcating 2mm jack to 2-2mm plugs: https://www.amazon.com/EasyStim-OTC-Bif ... _d_rp_33_t

I have another Y cable adaptor like the bifurcating mention above but it is 2-2mm jacks to one 2mm plug. Unfortunately, I don't remember where I found that.

Just basics like

or

Same idea as what GHHoss mentioned.

For the customizations, I just cut various ends off and twisted wires together, then covered with a short heat shrink tube.

Thanks for the suggestions, think I will go the pins route. The snap on to pins cables are super handy.
