The Euro Terminal Pair he mentioned is what we old timers call a "Terminal Block" will try to find a photo of one for you.
A very nice 2 contact spring loaded and red/black type of connector that makes it easy to replace the diode, you will need to solder to the other side though.
A 7 Pole Euro connector
now the one for sixty 3 cents is kind of low current for your needs but you can see what they look like,, The diode goes in one side, under two screws and the wires from teh panel and battery go to the other side of the same strips.. Remember the Arrow on the diode (if there is one) points toward the more NEGATIVE (Battery) lead.
Lots of goodies at that company, but ... Well, Quality and price vary from Fantastic to not so good.
