spring-wire connector Explanation: Pretty sure what this means. 'SuperBüschel' gets no google hits, so the claim to fame of this particular variant is unclear. The advantage of a spring-wire connector is that it provides a relatively large contact area (and thus low contact resistance and high current capacity) and reliable contact. A standard "Buschelplug' is a banana plug with multiple spring-wire contacts arranged radially instead of the more common flat-spring contacts. AFAIK it is very rarely used in English-speaking countries, hence the lack of a common English name. In principle (and AFAIK), spring-wire connectors can have the spring wires fitted to the male (plug) contacts (like a Büschelplug) or the female (socket) contacts. The latter type is sometimes called a 'basket contact' or some variant on that term. sample refs: Büschel-Connectors www.boersig.com/.../ manufacturers/bueschel.htm [English translation of German website, with picture] Special features of the ODU-springwire contact: http://www.odu.de/443--~en~products~single_contacts~product_...
