Try 'terminal post'. Is there an industrial park in your town? Any good
industrial supply house or electrical supply house that serves
commercial-work electricians will have a plethora of stuff like that.
Downside is, they are probably only open 0800-1630, M-F. Does Digikey have a
website? (Of course, if you buy online, probably have to buy a whole box of
them...) As usual with parts mongers, an old one or exact specs, or the item
it fits into, are helpful for the counter guy to stare at. Best to avoid the
morning and closing time rush periods.

Having said that, I have faked such things using bolts, insulating washers,
and appropriate insulated bushings, with suitable jam nuts.

Thanks!! I've tried all kinds of querys with no luck. My eyes are
bleary from doing this all morning. I finally gave up, went to McMaster
and got some shouldered plastic washers and some brass screws. I'll
just make my own! Thanks again!

Without taking it apart, I would expect it is made from a regular screw
and nuts with shoulder washers on both sides where it goes through the
plate. An example in the second column:

The shoulder washer is an isulator and the shoulder keeps the screw
centered as it passes through the plate.
