I have searched and can’t locate these.
Do you know who sells them ?

Some of the similiar styles are over priced IMO and hopefully these are more
reasonable ?

The original type is from a german manufacturer called Ruhstrat (it's the PR 063 style):

Standard material is brass - exception is the type 047 - but over the years different types were introduced by different companies, sometimes just with a extra layer of anodized copper but presumably sometimes made from a copper rod. Surely it depends on the lot count and a manufacturer like Mundorf exporting to other countries has to account for extra margins in the distribution chain.

So basically, it's not the plastic, but the non-standard material used for the special version.

Ferret , I have used this style many times on amps as well as speakers but they are not very good at getting a firm grip unless you use the cable lug to torque it down..,.BTDT
Many versions and great deal however

Bingo Wintermute, decent price.
No long speaker post versions only amp chassis.

Jaycar US does not stock these for some reason

Excellent quality posts no issue other than having a socket to tighten them and then after a while they get beat up looking.

That’s a good point about the one pc. body holding each polarity while tightening
Seperate ones don’t last as long and come loose with continued torquing.
