Banana Jack and BNC Adapters for RIGOL DL3000 Electronic Loads
This project is about banana jack and BNC adapters for RIGOL's DL3000 series electronic loads. There are already adapters for narrower binding posts (like BK Precision, ...) but I did not find any for the 39 mm pitch of the RIGOL DL3000 series.
These adapters are meant for conveniently feeding a few amperes - not for high current applications.
The BNC adapter has a pretty standard footprint. So you should be able to find a suitable replacement from your preferred distributor. Information on replacement parts welcome.
