Binding Post

A type of electrical terminal, a binding post is most commonly found as the output connector on a power amplifier, or as the connectors on a speaker cabinet. A binding post is a very versatile connector, accepting banana plugs, alligator clips, bare wire, and others. Generally, binding posts are color coded, with the black connection going to ground, and the red connecting to hot. Binding posts offer fast, easy connections, and provide reasonably good surface area contact for good conductivity.
