Tertullus 8-piece speaker spade connectors 4.5mm 🎧
Description:
This set of hi-fi speaker spade connectors offers a straightforward way to terminate speaker cable for home audio and theatre systems, making a secure mechanical connection without soldering. Designed for users who want clean, durable terminations, these plugs combine a robust single-piece spade with dual screw locking for a tight grip and neat presentation.
Key Points
The pack includes eight spade plugs, each machined from high-purity copper and finished with a rhodium plating that reduces oxidation and maintains contact quality. Installation is simple and quick, with small hex screws that clamp the wire firmly, so you can prepare a set of speaker cables in minutes. Tertullus 8 Pcs HiFi Speaker Spade Connectors are supplied with heat shrink tubing and a small wrench to help achieve a professional looking finish. For neatness and strain relief, the shrink tubing finishes the assembly cleanly and helps prevent stray strands.
These connectors are solidly built and feel weighty in the hand, which is often a sign of durability. They are not made from brass but from thicker, pure copper beneath the plating, according to the product description. Consider that rhodium plating adds corrosion resistance and a different appearance from standard nickel plating, however it may add a slight premium compared with basic terminal types. 🔩

Usage Recommendations
Strip the speaker cable to the recommended length, insert the conductor into the spade barrel and tighten both hex screws evenly for a secure clamp. After securing the wire, apply the supplied heat shrink tubing over the junction and apply gentle heat to form a snug jacket. For best results, twist and tin are not necessary, but ensure no loose strands remain that might short adjacent terminals. 🎚️
When connecting to speaker terminals, use firm but controlled pressure to seat the spade under the terminal screw or into binding posts designed for fork/Y terminations. These connectors work well on both amplifiers and loudspeakers with compatible terminals. Keep in mind that very fine or unusually shaped conductors may require ferrules or a minor adjustment to the screw tension to prevent strand damage.
