http://tinyurl.com/yhvwr6x is an inverter. If you select the second picture, you'll see the DC input terminals. They unscrew so that a spade terminal such as this can be connected http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/4b28c58202c802bc2742c0a87e010679/Product/View/H3219 But what's the term used to describe the terminal on the device? Sylvia.

They sometimes also will accept banana plugs in the middle of the post, like these do: <http://www.pomonaelectronics.com/pdf/broadcast/2417073_6883_6884.pdf> but use of banana plugs for high current applications such as your inverter is not recommended.

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.

I was taught many many years ago that "binding post" is the American name for what we Brits (and hence RS and Maplin) call a "terminal". (Maplin goes half way across the Atlantic with "terminal post".) So you also need to know where the questioner is. Chris
