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.

TE doesn't actually say whether it's solid or stranded in the catalog.
I'd call them or email their help line.

But, in general, connectors designed to crimp stranded are different
than connectors designed to crimp solid. My practical experience is with
smaller gauges though.
