I'm building my own phono preamp into a custom enclosure. Can anyone point in me in the direction of a ground post with thumb screw? Looking for something similar to this one here. I've found a number of "binding posts" on mouser and digikey but they technically are just banana jacks with binding post mechanism built in. Id like a dedicated threaded post with just a thumb screw like on the preamp I linked to. I feel like I'm not searching the right name because I don't know what it's actually called. Thanks.

Thank you both for the suggestions. The Vampire Wire is expensive holy ****. and the ony JonSnell mentioned is in the UK. Why are these so hard to come by in the US???
Easy enough to manufacture I would think. 5mm, or pick your own thread, threaded brass rod, nuts, washers and a thumb wheel screw to match the rod.
RS will supply to the States. Farnell, (Element 14) also.

To be honest because there is little market for them. Other than the tiny number of guys building phono preamp, who else needs one? I'm not picking on you, it is just something that has seen its day.
I used to tear down receivers and old cassette decks just for some mindless fun, and I always saved those. But I tossed my odd screw collection when I retired.
But I'd be super surprised if McMaster-Carr didn't have them. I know WW Grainger has them, and seems to me last time I looked at Lowes or Home Depot, they also had them.

Thanks! I would also need a means of soldering to the part of the screw that's inside the chassis to connect to ground. Any idea what that part is called? I'd imagine it looks like a washer but with tab for soldering to?

Something like this ground lug, but in the right size. 761-375-MT - MULTICOMP - Ground Lug Terminal, Brass | Newark element14
Similar but flat ground lugs are often used on panel-mount RCA jacks.
Here's another ground post, not cheap. http://ie.farnell.com/superior-electric/bp30gp10/binding-post-30a-10-32-stud/dp/1838994

Or use a thumb nut, with a screw/ground lug from the inside.Something like this ground lug, but in the right size.
