I thought perhaps it was for the ferrules so one need not sever or splay copper stranding with a set screw.
Go to Home Depot. Purchase two one-foot lengths of building wire
2/0
10 gauge
Strip the insulation. You will then have a ton of bare copper strands.
Bend one strand of the 2/0 into a 180 degree U. The radius has to be very tight. Try fitting the trimmed-off U into the terminal. If it fits good, solder your wire to be connected to the loop of the U. Heat shrink up to the point where the tip needs to be exposed for the connection. The ripple in the terminal block screw washer fits your U terminal perfectly. This will carry more current than ay pin, and the load on the terminal washer and screw is even.
