Default Binding posts that accept shrouded 4mm plugs?

Does anyone know if it's possible to get panel-mounting binding posts that accept 4mm shrouded plugs as well as the "standard" unshrouded types? I know that Aim-ThurlbyThandar use them (https://www.aimtti.com/safety-terminals), but can't find a retail source for them.

Mike

Hi Mike type in shrouded 4mm sockets on ebay or, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4mm-Shrou...xsfnjsJkMzW5ig. RS, farnell, and Rapid do them as well.

Thanks John, but these aren't what I mean. See the picture ("Figure 3") on this page -

Available as (quite expensive) 'spares' here:-

- but maybe TTi would sell direct a little cheaper?

They claim to be unique, and may well be.

Thanks for the link. Very strange that these are so very hard to come by, and not available more cheaply. Given that they have practically taken over from "unshrouded plug" type, you'd think that all component suppliers would be offering them.
