Banana plugs for Lokprogrammer Track Out jacks.

[Trnsrus]

ESU says 2.6 mm banana plugs fit the Track Out jacks on the Lokprogrammer.  An online search found only 4.0 and 2.0 mm banana plugs. Wikipedia says miniature banana plug sizes are 2.0 mm and 2.6 mm with the 2.6 mm plug commonly used in "model railway" applications. I tried  a 2.0 mm pin plug, commonly used for speaker connections, in the Lokprogrammer jack and found it was too small to make a secure connection. Does anyone know of a source for these 2.6 mm banana plugs?

A Google search turned up a bunch of false leads, but also this:

Wow, 13 bucks for one connector??  That appears to be some Marklin standard part.   If you leave the word "banana" out of your search and just look for "2.6mm plug" you can find them on eBay for a lot less.

You do realize that you can use the other track output connection on the programmer with the green colored screw terminal adapter as well.

That's what I use for connecting the programming track and ESU decoder tester the LokProgrammer.

the price is for a package of five, not a single plug, but still pretty steep I agree.

Very common in the mid- to high-end audio world, just not in that weird size.
