Binding posts, also known as posts, or terminals, are threaded chassis-mounted connector devices designed to connect or attach to a wide range of wires and connectors in several electronic devices. They are the core components of audio devices such as loudspeakers and amplifiers. A binding post features a threaded metal rod screwed with a cap. The supplied cap is usually color-coded, indicating the charge type flowing across the post.
The colours include red, black, and green, with distinct charge indications. For instance, a black cap shows a negative charge, a red cap indicates a positive charge, and a green cap denotes a grounding post.
