Sylvia.


Binding posts.

They sometimes also will accept banana plugs in the middle of the post, like
these do:

but use of banana plugs for high current applications such as your inverter
is not recommended.


Yes.

After Nik told me what they're called I was able to to find some in an
online catalogue. All my previous searches for screw, terminal and
connector, and combinations thereof, had failed to find them.
