[ARC5] ARC-5 mini-banana plug replacements

The banana plugs I use for connections to Command Sets were marketed as 
"miniature" or "mini" banana plugs.  The are shaped just like ordinary 
banana plugs but much smaller and are a good fit for the jacks.

They came from either Digikey or Mouser.

Note that the occasional error crops up in the web descriptions for 
parts on both company's sites - when something doesn't seem right I use 
the manufacturer's number listed for the part to cross reference to the 
manufacturer's own online data sheet or web site description.

Well, thank you John,

As usual, to the point - and quite wide of the mark.
4 mm connectors will not work in Command sets. Perhaps you could use 
them to
make gimmicks?

Keep trying - you may get another degree to brag about, soon. Err, wait
one - sorry, Isaac Newton was the last to get a degree in all knowledge.
