The ones with fixed soldering pins are nearly all grey here,
the ones with the "plug on pins" are dark grey or black.
Rest is the same as described by Ballendo.
Are sold in all dimensions (for different currents with different spacing).
some have a receptacle for the 2/4mm meter probes.
Find them cheap at ebay on "sub-D to screw terminal adaptor" or similar.
often >50 screw terminals at one pcb for next to nothing, even cheaper
than
loose terminals.
