I recently purchased some of these: Digi-Key Banana Jack. Unfortunately, I'm new and there isn't the supporting documentation I need to be able to determine how they're to be used.
Unlike other banana jacks, there is not a hole to feed the wire through and screw down on. I understand the large nut is for holding it against the enclosure, but I don't know what the intention is with the threaded bottom section and the two nuts. I'm guessing that the wire is simply looped around and a nut is tightened down against it, but this doesn't seem very durable. Why the double nuts, what is supposed to be done with them?
Edit
To clarify, I understand that they are the female piece of a banana connector. I have male banana connectors that I am using these with. My lack of understanding comes from how to wire this female piece to the… for lack of a better word "connection wire". I.e. how to wire this female portion into a circuit so that the circuit is accessible through it.

Run down to your local hardware store and get matching ring crimp terminals and non-slip washers. Crimp the terminals onto wires, then slip them in between the nuts on the bottom with a non-slip. This will provide a fairly secure connection, dependent on how well you crimped the terminal of course.
