content: Does anybody make a safety/sheathed banana jack binding post? The type that are on a solderless breadboard, but a safety jack instead of a normal banana jack.

content: You mean a 5-way binding post with safety jack? Or a chassis-mount safety banana jack?I would say you won't find both- because there's no safe way to tie in/bind flying leads, so what was the point.http://muellerelectric.com/product-category/banana-plugs-jacks-binding-posts/banana-jacks-bj/

content: good point. in theory you could have the flying leads attached first, then you can plug and unplug banana. but i guess this product isn't really wanted by the market.

content: bump.No one has a source for these? Looking around at power supplies, even fairly cheap ones, these are a common part.

content: Do you care if its actually insulated, or do you just want the shielded plugs to fit?This looks like there could be space on the sides:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/M4X36-pure-copper-terminal-4mm-banana-plug-20A-binding-post-Banana-plug-connector/32803471963.htmlBut might not be long enough.Another thread here:https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/binding-posts-that-accept-shrouded-4mm-plugs/

So, you can't come into contact with the bare metal of the binding post, but still you have to insert a bare wire so not sure how useful the insulation around the post itself is.$10 ea wow
