Good point, Jim.  Yes, #10 solid-wire Romex.  See links below.  This is what I 
recently ordered from Mouser.  These lugs have a tongued body which mate nicely 
with the prop pitch's electrical barrier strip.  However, not sure if it's 
rated for solid or stranded #10 AWG.

This one, TE 32543,  explicitly calls out Solid/Stranded for the wire type.

https://www.te.com/usa-en/product-32543.html

there's an engineering spec sheet reference there and among the 14 pages it talks about solid conductors vs stranded.


The UL reports (there's two) do not mention Awg 10 solid- they say "Nos 22-14 AWG solid" (for Solistrand) or "Nos 22-10 AWG Stranded" (for PIDG and DG with power tooling)
