I agree - tip jacks work very well. But be sure to use a small file to round the ends of your silver wire so they insert easily. For those using DC, if you swap the wires every run, they will "wear down" evenly. Tip jacks have lost their popularity in the electronics industry in the last 20 years, so you may have to try several sources before you find them. --Steve Y. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Nave" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2003 8:58 AM Subject: CS>Attaching 12 gage silver wire electrodes to container lid
> A "pin jack" or "tip jack" is like a banana jack (the female part) but instead of having an opening the size of a banana plug, it's opening is the size of a 12 gage wire. Just mount the tip jack upside down on the lid of your container and the 12 gage silver wire can be easily inserted in, held by, or removed from the tip jack. The part of the jack on the bottom of the lid (the water side) will be mostly plastic and the metal post on the top side can be connected to the circuitry of the CS maker with clips or soldering. These tip jacks should be relatively cheap (on the order of $1 apiece) and available at Radio Shack or any electronic supply house or catalog. > > The convenience and stability of this method should make it well worth the minimal price. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
