Making a Banana Jack Adapter for Siglent Electronic Loads

Support Clough42 on Patreon:   / clough42  

Today I'm making a banana jack adapter for my Siglent SDL1020-X-E 200W DC Electronic load. The unit comes from the factory with binding posts that do not allow the use of 4mm banana plugs, and that needs to be fixed. So I'll design an adapter PCB and some 3D printed parts to wrap it all up in a nice, neat package.
